Your right. I also go by IT but I do use the -121 setting as a final step just in case I... you know... fall asleep or something.
Not that that has ever happened before!
I use the ramping in one step calculated to be approximately 10 degrees per hour. It works well.
I hadn't...

That diagram was the SYL2352. I have since switched it to 220v and the SYL2352P. The wiring would be the same though. Here's a picture of the element setup I used with the original setup for the wiring diagram I posted above. It was two 110v finned strip heaters with a blower to...
Auber does sell pretty much everything you need including cabinets and heat sinks. The only additional items you'll need is wire and a few various connectors which should be available at an electronics store or Radio Shack.

Hi Merlecommet
Here is a diagram of the wiring I used on one smoker I built with 2 - 110v elements using a PID to control it. It is an Auber PID. A couple things to note, First, you need to have power from 2 separate circuits coming in. The reason is a standard 110v circuit will not handle both...

You don't have to have the humidifier inside the cabinet. Here is a link to my build. Although mine is a commercial freezer if you scroll down through the pictures you will see how I setup the humidifier.

The other members are right, you can really only run about 1500 watts on one circuit.
One option you could do is to tear down the hot plates and simply wire them direct. After all the PID will be controlling them.
A PID doesn't care how much power it switches. The PID is simply signaling the...
Hi Sawyer
I usually rule on the side of safety and use fuses. I always run a 1 amp slow blow fuse for the power that runs the PID. I also run fuses on the hot side of the circuit before it gets to the SSR, these fuses need to be the sppropreate size for you load.

I couldn't find a manual for the PID you are using but I would think it will work fine. I'm assuming by the 2100 watt element it is likely 220v? Do you have a SSR (Solid State Relay) with a heat sink?
Here is a link on putting a controller together for a smoker that may also be helpful...

You can't go wrong with Auber Instruments. I've built a number of smokers including two different 220v setups and all of them have used Auber parts. He is pretty reasonably priced too.

The PID itself can be programmed to restrict the power output if you really wanted to, although I never do on any of my smokers. My largest one is 220v & 3000 watts. You really don't need a dimmer switch. I'm familar with the Auber PIDs. Here is a direct quote out of one of the manuals...
