I am so disappointed in my SI#3. Regardless of what I put into this thing, it never gets up to temp.
I just pulled a 9# brisket that has been in there for 15 hours set at 250 degrees and must now finish in the oven as the IT is only at 162. The smoker got over 200 degrees once but the rest of the time was 175 - 190. I've had to do this on just about every smoke I've done. I had this problem already and Steve sent me a new controller and element, but clearly that didn't fix it.
I see some guys have bought this Auber PID for $200 and that seems to fix the problem, but I shouldn't have to spend another $200 to do what this is already supposed to do.

Question...if I do decide to buy this Auber, that will override the temp controller and therefore should fix this problem, correct? Also, I won't need my Maverick ET732 anymore, correct?
