Excellent job, it looks great and its functional.

Ok Ryanhoelzer challenged me to do this. His comment was I would like to increase the angle on the PID. (adlibed) So another Monday night of bad TV. Always gets me into trouble. Of course I like to hang in the garage and build stuff. So I improved on my last design and wanted people that were already working on this to know. What I have now done.


It was real simple and works very well. I unscrewed my sun sheild. On the front of the PID there is a screw. That holds the front to the top of the smoker. I cranked that out about 3 turns. It still goes into the slot. The back of the PID now sets on top of the smoker. At a much better angle.










Now I had nothing securing the back of the PID. I had some thin velcro laying around. So I put a piece on the PID and the sun screen.






Here is a front view.







Here is my complete setup with the stand I built. Not sure how many people will see this. As a lot of people have already viewed this thread. But I was not sure if another thread was worthy. Mods let me know if you want it changed.

Thanks for viewing and I hope it helps.

Looks good. I may have to mess with mine this weekend.
