New from the PNW

[BaconAF]

Hey yall, I've been smoking meat for about 5 years now, been doing it in anything that can hold heat. From a marketplace oil drum with a burn box to a halfway decent pellet smoker. My day job is a controls electrician, so I really want to get into the automation side of this hobby. Thanks for reading

Welcome to SMF from Colorado.

"automation side" Can you elaborate on that? I might be reading this wrong but Pellet smokers are pretty automated.

If your talking PID's, there's a lot of good information on SMF.

Here's one thread on automating propane smokers: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/pid-addition-to-gen-1-mes-40.320540/#post-2505989

As in making my own smokers and automating it myself, love pellets but It takes out some of the fun by buying someone elses work

Welcome from the KC area, but I have a son in Seattle, and visit there at least once a year. And we just returned from a vacation in Oregon. I'm a big fan of the PNW.

Welcome from an escaped PNW. Moved back to MN and the winters also suck.
