Hi Guys and Gals,

Anyway, I just wanted to say - this is a GREAT site and thanks for taking the time to post all the details and pics for us new guys.

Hi Dr Evil and welcome to the forum from a fellow Canuck!

Moose Jaw is home for me. After Oct 1st make sure you check out the recipe site, it's down right now but should be up then. It's a collection of tons of great recipes and information from all the fine folks here on the forum. Just click on the smoker in the bottom of my post... After Oct 1st.

Whats the story on the PID??  Does it give a lot of bang for the buck??  

Ive already seen them, and of course I WANT one - mostly since Im an Instrument Tech by trade. Whats cooler than having tight control on the temp??

Post by: squirtthecat on September 30, 2009, 09:22:39 AM

Heck, you can probably build your own..   Others can give a better description of it than I can.
I think there are PID plans on the recipe site.


I just have a simple Ranco temperature controller.   It's just a big thermostat, nothing fancy.

Yeah, Ive already been by that tread.  Looks good but Im not sure id know what temps to set it at.

The Auburn (SP) PID controller looks more like a plug and play deal.

Todays efforts - probably not as good as some of you vetrans but it was REALLY good - especially the ABT's - it was our first time with them and they were nothing short of INCREDIBLE:

I see why people make the holders for the peppers - if you dont have one - the filling falls out !!!  As luck would have it, I have a couple of chunks of stainless steel at work that theyll never miss.... ;)

BTW, anyone know what those orange sticks are by the ribs??  I have no idea where they came from.

Unfortunately, Walmart in the US and Walmart in Canada are very different things.    Thanks for the heads up - I will have a look tomorrow but Im am pretty sure it wont be available.  We get gipped in Canada.   Yeah, $10 is a whole lot better than making one.
