Thanks for that I have a pork shoulder thawing for further testing, the manual is intimidating far more complicated then for my needs. I'll play around with the different settings as I go
I went to the manual and set it to single step mode so no minutes to set just the temp and it stays there and use my own timer to ramp if necessary. The 1510 will not burn out the SSR on a 1,200 watt element when on constantly and has the 15 amp quick blow fuse. Higher watt elements that are on constantly with big loads over long durations will fry it so you need to adjust your output from 100% to 80% or so, also in the manual. I like the P 1, I 0 and D 0. Or chopsaw's P 1, I 208 and D 210. Play with the P setting on both 5 max. Out of the box and autotune not good for me on the Mes 40.Thanks for that I have a pork shoulder thawing for further testing, the manual is intimidating far more complicated then for my needs.

Nice!I put a pan of water in the smoker for a trial, I used single set mode, set for 130* overshot to 138* and then back to 130* rock steady kicked it up to 150* gained the 20* in 10 mins. stayed rock steady. As suggested I will reset the "P" to a lower number as soon as I figure out how..baby steps. On another note my Inkbird IRF-45 is showing a temp. 6* lower the sensors are both in the same place inside the smoker. I'll track some of those fast blow fuses JIC
Hahaha glad to help!Let me know if this helps :)
Very very much translated from engrish to English helps immensely, reading that manual was like listening to Charlie Brown's parents on the Christmas special. Copied onto a word file and printed
Nice, glad to hear u are up and running!Now I'm cooking! followed Tallbm's instructions smoker is working perfect about 30 mins to 250* held steady for 6 hours and as a bonus it doesn't trip my GFI
