Pulled Pork for Superbowl

[rj3494]

One last question on programming Auber dual probe pid.  Want to preheat to 250 for 1 hour then beginning smoke for 4 hours at 250 then cook at 250 until internal temp is 195.  any help would be appreciated.

If you want to shut the smoke generator (SG) off after your smoke time  and end the cook based on meat IT then:

Set CO1 to 250* and EO1 to "t" then to 5 hrs (I did 5 because if you just load your pucks and not manually advance them to the end of the burner, it will take an hour for the 1st puck to get to the burner, giving you your 1 hr of warm up before the pucks start burning. )
Set r1 to 1 ( your SG will run during the first cycle and shut off when it ends - 5 hrs)
set CO2 to 250* and EO1 to "f" then 195* ( your cabinet heater will run until the IT of the meat reaches 195*)
set CO3 thru CO6 to "0" Set EO3 thru EO6 to 0

If you want to keep the SG on the full time to give extra heating capability then:
Set CO1 to 250* and EO1 to "f" then to 195* ( cabinet heater will run until meat IT reaches 195*
Set r1 to 1 ( SG will run during the first cycle)
set CO2 thru CO6 to "0" Set EO2 thru EO6 to 0

I personally don't use the PID to end on IT. My concern is that if the probe is in a fat pocket or other hot spot it will end too soon.
So I would set it the following way:

If I want to shut the smoke generator (SG) off after the smoke time:

Set CO1 to 250* and EO1 to "t" then to 5 hrs (I did 5 because if you just load your pucks and not manually advance them to the end of the burner, it will take an hour for the 1st puck to get to the burner, giving you your 1 hr of warm up before the pucks start burning. )
Set r1 to 1 ( your SG will run during the first cycle and shut off when it ends - 5 hrs)
set CO2 to 250* and EO1 EO2to "t" then to 25hrs ( your cabinet heater will run for 25 hrs. Probably won't take that long but once IT gets to 195* I take readings in other places and stop when I get consistent readings)
set CO2 CO3 thru CO6 to "0" Set EO2  EO3 thru EO6 to "0"

If I want the SG on all the time:
Set CO1 to 250* and EO1 to "t" then to 28hrs ( cabinet heater will run for 28 hrs -again may nnot take that long)
Set r1 to 1 ( SG will run during the first cycle)
set CO2 thru CO6 to "0" Set EO2 thru EO6 to 0

hope this helps. Also sent you this link for programing the PID
