Hi there and welcome! You are in luck, i just posted this info to help another guy with the Auber PID settings. You have to be drunk and standing on your head to make sense of the Auber manual :p
To simplify change P-I-D values do the following:
- Hold SET for 3 sec to change ability to input a number
- Enter 166 and press SET button and it will take you to the "P" setting
- Change the P value and hit SET to lock it in and skip to "I"
- Change "I" and hit SET or skip it by just hitting SET and it will go to "d"
- Change "d" and hit SET or skip it by hitting SET to go to "At"
- Change "At" and hit SET or skip by hitting SET to go to "t"
- Change "t" and hit SET or skip by hitting SET to leave the 166 settings
To set time and cooking temp simply:
- hit the SET button to go to step "C-1" (step 1 duration) and change to an insanely large value to stay on that step forever/that many minutes, and hit SET to move to "t-1" (step 1 temp)
- Enter your set Temp for this step (step 1) and hit SET to move to step 2 (C2)
- Now for every consecutive step (C2-C6) enter a duration value of 0 and hit SET to go to the time for that step (t2-t6) - this means the step will not execute
- Now change the temp (t2-t6) to 0 temp and hit SET
- repeat steps 3-4 to Zero out C2-C6 to 0 min and t2-t6 to 0 time
From this point on you only ever have to skip to step 2 and adjust your set temp for your smoker to simply just have a 1 step smoke at that set temp forever (well for the C1 duration which should be set to an insanely high number like 4320 = 3 days).
Let me know if this makes sense.
