I am fairly new to smoking and sausage making. I am using an MES30 and have been less than pleased with the performance and results that i have been achieving. Based on suggestions from here, especially from Tallbm, I got an auber pid. All I can say is, WOW. What a difference. It's like a got a new smoker. Set the temp profile, always hovered with a degree or two of where it was set, and the resulting sausage is outstanding. If you have an MES, I couldn't recommend the Auber PID enough. Thank you for TallBM and you other kind folks for walking me through this.
