I mentioned a while back my old gen-1 40 inch smoker had huge temp swings. Way too big to do sausage. I've been wanting to do this for a long time just never got around to it.
I like the Auber pre-built PID boxes but being in the electronics field for 40+ years caused me to stay away from LCD if I can. So I got the new Auber WiFi enabled PID and put a box together. The model # is AW-SYL-2352 and it runs around $100.00
I bought most of the parts from Auber and only had to add a marine circuit breaker, wire, and a couple of 110 vac plugs. I'm using an PT100 with a 3mm tip.
I spent about 3 hours tuning and running it though some tests and I'm pretty happy with the results. So far it's holding temp within 2 or 3 degs F. I started with the factory default values and since they were pretty close I just tweaked them a little.
I want to thank tallbm again for the re-wire post. Saved me a lot of time.
here's some pics if I can get them to upload.
