I have trouble with my smoker getting to 250 so I thought I'd use a PID. However, the instructions are such that I just can't understand them. Maybe 20-30 years ago I'd have been alright, but now my mind isn't as sharp as it once was. Are there any simple instructions anywhere?
A PID by itself may or may not solve your problems. A PID with a higher output element, or addition of a second factory element will solve all your problems.
Not sure if you have the dual probe or single probe, but here are instructions for the dual.
