I have read many posts here and elsewhere about Pids and I still don’t understand all the settings.
This seems to be a tool with growing interest and if we all can understand it better. Great.
Maybe if everyone who has a Pid here puts up there settings we can come to a consensus and fine tune our settings for best Q.
I have a mypin ta series
My Pid came with the default settings of The settings I use
AL1-90.00 AL1-350.00
AL2-90.00 AL2-180.00 When I cold smoke I change this to 50.00
PVF-00 PVF-5
PUF-0.0 PUF- this changes with every smoke but my average is +10
P-3.00 P-30.0
I-240 I-240
D-off D-60
I am not sure if the settings I have are the best but my pid works and keeps the smoker within 1-2 degrees. I have found that if I change from hot to cold smoke or cold to hot I have to re auto tune to keep that range. I don’t auto tune from the start but let the heat come up to like 220 when I want 225 and then hit AT. It goes through the learning curve a lot faster this way.
And I got these setting off the internet so I just don’t know.
