Just got a new Auber wifi controller for my MES30. Did a test run yesterday and held 225 +/- 2 degrees for 30 minutes. Very impressed, usually had 25 degree temp swings on the factory controller that just went out.
Smoking some ribs tomorrow morning and then plan on smoking a boston butt overnight if that goes well. Also just picked up an AMNPS so experimenting with that.
Question is, weather is calling for a few light random rain chances over night. Don't really want this controller ruined, so thinking of putting it in a plastic box. Smoker is up against the house under a lattice covered pergola so it could get some water on it. Any concerns that anyone can see? I'd cut a small hole in the end for the cables and tape over it. Not sure if this thing gets hot as this wouldn't be well ventilated.
