I’m wondering if possible this thermocouple is faulty cause it seems a lot hotter inside the oven than the reading. Does this looking somewhat proper for the wiring of this? I have taken the power for the PID by jumping from the heater and the SSR points for respective sides..

Could be a defective thermocouple. I have seen that before. Your wiring looks correct so I don't think that is the issue.

This morning I set my P= 1 I=0 D=0 to see if it would rise faster because from my understanding that’s basically straight power settings. It didn’t raise faster but again it seems like oven is hotter then thermocoupler.. in hindsight I have a digital meat thermometer I could use to test oven temp secondary but last night I ordered a better thermocouple to install that’s similar to the stock smokin’Tex one and I plan to put it into the same location as the OEM.

Hey brother so I’ve got this setup to what I believe is full power p-I-d all to 0000 from the manual… I have the SV set to 225. And I can’t seem to get it to get over 200 PV… it’s been an hour and a half… I do have the back panel off and insulation out. But the oven has been red hot for 90 mins never above 200… any thoughts.

I hate to say it but it is starting to sound like you have a bad controller. Either that or there is a bad setting somewhere.

Can you give me baseline settings to see if I can get it over 200, I used a link you posted in another thread for an AliExpress seller.
 
Like maybe what settings do you normally use for this controller I will see if I have the same settings.

This is what I usually use. Hope this helps.

Welcome from OHIO. I'm of no help with anything here, so I just try to make people laugh.
