Just received my new Auber PID two probe unit.
Also just installed the extra heating element in my 6BDS.
Heating up so I can do the auto tune and can't get the temp up past 185 when the Auber throws an "H" code and stops working. What do I need to do?
I have the smoker fiilled with two large bricks and two bowls of water.
Garage is at 2C (36F)
Anything else you need to know
Auber is set at 225* and stop at 250* but will not go past 185

Did you program the Auber for cooking temp and time only so you don't need to use the meat probe?
Your E settings need to be controlled by t, not f the way you have the smoker loaded.

I changed the setting to T and it was still beeping. when I plugged in the meat probe the alarm turned off and it started working. Does the meat probe always need to be plugged in?

I'm not sure on that one Klondike. Shoot an email to Suyi at
[email protected].
I'm sure he will get right back to you on that.
I thnik I just figured it out. Setting number three was still set on F . When I changed all the settings to T I was able to unplug the meat probe.

Keep us posted on how it goes.
Just doing the auto tune now.
Klondikesmoker
Auto tune is done, took about 30 minutes
Thought I would see how the meat probe works so set the
C01 - 200
E01 - F
f01 - 275
all I get is an alarm beep and the "H" code and the heater shuts off
Now what?
The meat probe is just hanging off the rack next to the PID temp probe. Thought it would be interesting to see how close in temperature the two probes are.

Hi can anyone tell me what some of the letters stand for like E= end ,t = temp what is C,O,F,P,S, stand for and any others.
Thanks Ketch
This should answer most or all of you questions.

the only time i have seen a H on mine (i have the same unit), was when my probes were not pluged correctly i had a bad food probe so i had to remplace it. It was under warranty so Mr Liu sent me a new one.
And to answer an other question, if in your cooking process you have both T and F operations, yes both probes needs to be pluged in. The only way you can operate the pid without the food probe is if you did not choose any step controll by F only T or it won't work as you seen.
Thought I had this all figured out. Put a butt in and everything working fine until two hours later I get the dreaded "H" error code. I set the C02 to a time factor (20 hours) and the alarm goes away. Set it back to temp and the "H" code comes back. Any ideas or do I have a bad temp probe?
settings
C01 250 t 1.0 hrs for pre heat
C02 217 f 192 for butt IT
C03 150 t 150 for cool down (if I am sleeping)
C04 blank
C05 blank
Co6 blank
Sound to me you have a bad probe. The connection wire under the black rubber thing might me loose or something. Just call or email Suyi at Auber. He will send you an other if your is still under warranty.
It is definately still under warranty. first time I have used it. It worked fine for a couple of hours then quit. does it matter if the metal wire is touching other temp probe wires? I have 4 wires going in the smoker two from the Auber and two from the Maverick.
Klondikesmoker
Can't say for sure, but me, i would avoid them to touch each others.
On one other subject, i want to personally thank you for your smoker in the garage setup. You know the exhaust fan with dryer hose above your smoker through the window, i stole the idea from you :P you just made a young man in wheelchair life easier. Thankfull until death man. I did the same but in my kitchen. ;D
Frank
The wires touching shouldn't matter.
Have you tried contacting Suyi? I see smokinNcanuck had a problem with his meat probe. http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=14914.0
Sent an email today and a new one is on the way.
toker
I would like to take the credit but that is someone else. I have a pipe and inline vent fan set up but no dryer hose and no window. thanks anyways

Klondikesmoker
Same thing man i had you picture in mind. :P i just thought it was a dryer hose. I remember you took it through the wall, but for me, it was easier doing it through the window. You are the one that put this idea in my mind, or the one that made me hook to this idea. But you're right, it is not through the window. I still remember your other post there http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=14120.15 It was the 1St time that i saw smoked ice ;D Take the credit.
I just took the idea from others on this site and adapted it to fit my needs. thanks for the complement.
Yeah, . . . smoked ice goes real good with single malt ;D

I had got a bad food probe too. Suyi told me that he out-sources the probes and
he had to switch companies cause the one company crimped the wires too tight.
He really was a no questions ask and sent me a new one.
toker, glad you are fixed up with your smoker.
KDS, nice set up also.
Gonna be 85* here today, time for shorts and flip/flops. ;D
BTW CRG, I've speak to Soyi this week and i took the time to explain him our problem ,you know about auto shut off with more than one pieces of meat in the Bradley at the same time, i will fix it for the next production i think. He seemed very interested to know it, he did not think about this situation he felt sorry.

I'm good with it, just got to remember to set according to how many things you are smokin.
I did like OU, I bought another food probe for my 73.
I monitor the same meat as the Auber and another meat.
Like on butts, when the bottom rack goes to stall (170), I switch the top and bottow
racks and they finish close to each other.
OK but now, with your fan, i think you won't have rotate your rack anymore from what I've red on others post, only your probes. :D

I hope that is the way it is. That is why I did it. I'm lazy. ;D
Speaking of fans, did you have a chance yet to check the rotation of your new fans? I know you were quite busy over the weekend with your son's wedding and all (congratulations by the way!) and any delay in your report is fully expected.
check there man. http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=14951.0

I wish I would have read this thread 2 weeks ago....had a hell of a time with the darn H-beeping errors on the internal meat probe till Suyi sent me another one...a grown man swearing at an electonic device is pathetic....I don't feel so alone now...yee haw smoke on the horixon
Just got back from holidays and the new probe was in the mail. Now just have to find time to use it. Looking at doing ribs for the first time on Monday. have to work all weekend.

I just received my (2nd) replacement meat probe this week from Auber....2 of the last 4 times I went to smoke the meat the probe went wacko and either no reading or 320 something degrees....the new one is not crimped onto the cable and is one of the longer wire versions.....so cross your fingers, Suyi said it was " a permanent solution" from him. :o
