PID Controller

Hello again folks!

I am looking into getting a PID for my Smokintex 1460 to mitigate swings in temps and have more reliable cooks. I have seen a lot of people saying the Auber ws1200 is great, but I am having a lot of issues sourcing one as I am in the Great White North. Wondering if there are any other PIDs that folks could put me onto that could help with what I need? Thanks!

Auber does ship to Canada but depending on where you're at it could be a few week wait and I don't know how badly customs would work you over.

" For international packages shipped by USPS, the transit time varies from country to country. In general, it takes 2 - 3 weeks to arrive in the east coast of Canada, most European countries, and Australia. "

Thanks for the information. Thats exactly what I am worried about to be honest. Canadian customs are highway bandits. So I am correct in my understanding that Auber is the only way to go here?

No thats just the way I went and the only one I'm familiar with. Theres a number of smarter than me guys here that have built their own PID's with readily available parts that may chime in. Steve H and tallbm for two. I think it was JC in GB that built some to sell but I don't know if he's still doing that.

Last I heard JC in GB was still building them. And from the ones I've seen. They look very good. If you're handy with building things. You could make your own.
