Hi All,
Just purchased a Bradley 4 rack DBS smoker and wondering what accessories I should get or are recommended.
*PID - As I understand this is to maintain a tighter temp control when smoking fish etc. I assume this is for ambient temp control. Seems like mostly Auber brand is recommended on this forum.
*Thermometer - Looking at igrill2 cause I like the graphing capability. Opinions?
Thanks,
Smojak
a pid is to control the Box temp not the ambient temperature surrounding the smoker,,, it also will maintain a tight temperatures inside the box,
i grill thermometer is a great unit to have ,,, so is tappicue both are different and are good units,, the tappicue can be read away from home through the internet which is a great option,, check out both units and see which one is better for you
Thanks beefmann! Yes, I mis-spoke...meant box temp. as ambient as opposed to meat temp.
Which PID do you recommend?
i would recommend any from auber inst,,, be careful here, a few decisions need to be made first
if you are going to need a pid to control your smoker in steps in temp for a duration of time.. then you need a ramp and soak Pid,,,, if not an standard pid...
some have built in relays others have require an ssr,,, ( solid state relay) so you have to buy extra on the ssr pid... along with the probes,,,, take a look at auber and look through there products... quite a helpful site
