    First smoker build question

    Will an oven element fit inside the diameter of the tank? depending on the shape of the element, you could probably drill some hole for the leads to come out and a wire bracket to support it on the inside -OR- You can buy unbent straight but bendable elements in the "green" form where the...

    Hot Cart Build

    Where is the air intake? The stack could be drawing more draft and bringing in cooler air too fast. How many cubic feet is your unit? 1200w for that large of a space (judging by your picture) isn't enough from what I've seen. It will be way easier to get it up to temp if you had more wattage...

    RTD PT100 probes for Auber PID's

    I'm glad you said that.... I just found this on Auber's website when researching what you said: "This Air intake sensor features high accuracy and fast response time in the air because of its thin RT­D sensor tip."...

    RTD PT100 probes for Auber PID's

    I talked with Auber. A  longer 5" probe that's a skinny 1/8" diameter is good for air temp. If you want use a thicker one, make sure it is shorter. It takes air longer to change the temperature on a sensor with more mass/metal if that makes sense.

    Intake and exhaust sizes on electric smokers

    Ended up doing a combination of everything. 3"OD 14ga aluminized exhaust pipe. It has a long swooping curve, the bottom 1" has no bend/elbow. It has a slight lip near the opening, and angles back slightly so any built up creosote condensation should not drip onto the food. I driled my rear hole...

    Does it matter if the probe length itself is shorter or longer?

    RTD PT100 probes for Auber PID's

    I wanted to use RTD probes over K-type thermocouples. Auber mostly just has RTD probes for brewing/liquid. Anyone know of a good source for RTD probes for a smoker? Some can be really prices, and I've see some OLD (dead) links on other forums,etc referenceing some probes that were supposedly...

    Thermal switch / flame rollout placement.

    Where should a thermal switch to protect for an over heat be placed? (PID controlled smoker) I see that MES smokers have them on the back wall about half way up or better. Most ovens/ranges have them on the inner ceiling/top; however, ovens don't have an exhaust out/near the top either like a...

    PID problems runaway temp

    I'll try to come up with a way to make the thermal switch easily removable. I would image they aren't designed to be overheated and tripped that many times before they fail themselves or loose their tolerance. That way it can be swapable with one that is in a range/oven (has a higher over temp...
