    Inconsistent Temperatures MES

    Thanks for all of your help! I think I'm probably going to pick up a digtal MES, mainly so that I have some insulation built into the smoker. I'll probably use the stock temperature controller for a while, and the buy an auber when I'm ready to get more dialed in. Going with the digital seems...

    Yeah that screenshot alone is enough to convince me. Looks a heck of a lot better than mine!

    So the PID essentially turns the analog into a more accurate digital?

    @tallbm Thanks! I'm thinking I might get the auber and try again. It seems like this setup can last me for a while, and if I want to get a pellet I can do that down the road. @mosparky This makes sense. Sausage is one of the meats I'm most excited to smoke, so it sounds like the PID would be a...

    Sounds great. I’ll look into this too! Would I still need the PID if I had a digital version? Also one last question, it leaked sort of a lot out the door overnight. I’m assuming this is because I didn’t have it level? I need to figure out how to get it all off my patio now :)

    Inconsistent Temperatures MES

    Thanks for the encouragement! I bumped up the temp when I woke up this morning and it hit 190 internal temp right at lunch time, so I was able to enjoy it then. I thought it was a little tough, but the flavor was good. It doesn't look even close to as good everything on here! Although, I got...

    Dang! I thought an analog would be fine. I guess I should have done more research. This is the one I picked up...

    It’s 55 right now. Was 45 last night. I’m on the eastern shore of Maryland

    Inconsistent Temperatures MES

    It’s an analog so it doesn’t have a direct temperature to set to. I was trying to get it to stay at 200 overnight, and to do that I had to have it set very low. This is what I have it to now and it’s fluctuating between 280 and 230

    Inconsistent Temperatures MES

    Hey all, hope this is the right spot to as this question. I'm trying out smoking and ended up getting a used analog MES on Facebook Marketplace, a smoke tube, and a 2 probe thermometer. I was going to get a nice pellet, but figured I should buy something a little cheaper first and make sure...
