Title: PID Sound-Off
Post by: Majes on June 04, 2012, 10:26:25 AM
What thermocouple is everyone using?   Are you dangling through the vent or fixed mount in the back?   If fixed mount, what rack position?

Get the dangler. You can position it just under the lowest rack ;)

I run mine through the door but I clipped it onto a rack. This is only used for this purpose.

I have the Auber K-type TC with alligator clip.  I run it through the vent and clip it to the lowest rack that I have something smoking on.

I haven't had this much fun since the electronic science kits in 5th grade!    Wait............that V-8 engine model in 7th grade was pretty exiting too.

I originally used the wall mount but it wasn't long before I plugged the hole and bought a dangler probe. The issues I had were 2. (1) you should place it under your lowest rack of meat, with the fixed mount I couldn't do this. (2) The fixed probe sometimes got in the way when I had all the racks full. That is the same reason I removed the temp probe that came with the Bradley.

I use a type J T/C and drilled a hole through the back of the tower so the T/C rests just below the second rack from the bottom. Works great.  :)

Yea, mine is the same place. I used a T type, I already had the wire.

I dangle for several reasons. Mostly because there is no one position ever works for me. I move it around according to loads and what im triny to accomplish.
