auber pid

rigstar · December 17, 2011, 09:52:55 AM

hello,
well i am going to take the plunge and buy an auber pid dual probe.
as i am a DBS 4 rack owner i see i need an extra cord.
couple of questions:
i am on the auberins.com site they have dual probe for 185 is this a good price?
and has any one got the wall mounted sensor, i am taking that the wall mount sensor
is the heat sensor, if they do how does it work? or would you stay with the free one?
the boss is going to kill me when i get home, when this shows up,lol
been at work for 7 weeks and have had quite a few deliveries for the smoker ::)
thanks for the thoughts/ suggestions

Same price I paid for mine on that site. I have the free hanging probe. It will allow you to put it where ever you want or need to get a more accurate temp reading.

don't get the wall mount, it will get in the way.

thanks guys
seems like the free probe is the way to go, and i have never heard mention
of the wall mount in the threads i have read,
price seems right, so
another delivery is about to be made

I bought the Auber probe with the alligator clip on the end. That way I can make a drip loop and attach it to the bottom of a rack and don't have to worry about grease or moisture running down the wire and into the probe and ruining it.

thanks for the tip tedebear,
where did you get that? from the auber site?

I normally go thru the top vent. But he's right make sure your wire is so it cant run down to the probe. Always keep wire above probe.

yup, makes sense
thanks viper

forgot to ask

are the probes sensitive to water like the maverick probes?
cleaning tips?

GusRobin · December 18, 2011, 12:07:16 PM

yes they are sensitive. Either be careful when washing it or put some high temp sealant.

High temp sealant and I also use electrical heat shrink.

Yes, it's on the Auberins site in the section for Thermocouple Sensors.

K Type Thermocouple w/ alligator clip tip

@devo, et al,

Could you please post the brand/part number of the high temperature sealant you used.

Thanks
Phil

Wish I still had some around. I got it from work. Not sure if I kept it in the garage or not. Will look tomorrow
