Thanks Tony, I was in the process of writing my plan when your post came in. I was going to use all 6 steps with C03 and C05 to do the wrap and unwrap. This seems a lot easier I can set my Maverick to count down as you suggested.

The spare ribs are not due until Monday, so I will just practice a little.

Thanks again.

I am just a little frustrated!  >:(  I figured out the programming, I think, I follow all the steps and actually understand them. The PID will not heat the tower. I reset the cables, re-entered the program more times than I care to count. reconnected the DBS to the regular configuration and the element heats up. I then checked voltage beginning with the wall receptacle (119V) checked the end of the cable (from the receptacle) and got 119Vs. Check the output of the PID a number of times and got 5 to 6 volts. I am not sure what to do except call on Monday.   

An interesting note you need a different power cord to connect the SG to wall receptacle.  ::) Fortunately I had extra cables from when I returned the SG in November, long story.

Now I must spent Monday watching the tower  temp when I smoke ribs!

I re-checked the instructions and found I had a little error. I corrected the error and tried again.
This time I had 56 volts coming out of the PID. Well the temp started to rise it got to about 100F so I decided to help by turning the SG on, the temp started to rise then stalled. However, the element is not red. So I am not sure if anything is working correctly. I just shut the SG off and the temp is dropping.

My error was that I put 225F for the internal temp thinking it was the top end of the range. C01 is set for 3 hrs now. But still no rise in temp!

Thought I had found something but not!

Well I thought I knew what I was doing. ::)  I now have a lot of egg on my face. :-[  I called Suyi Liu and he promptly replied with an e-mail (in less than 10 min); subsequent e-mails pointed out the error of my ways. Damn UPSIDE DOWN 'F'!  >:(  I remember reading about this in a couple of tutorials. I must commend Suyi for his quick response and patience. In about an hour I will start a rack of spareribs. They are on the table coming up to room temp.

No worries, now you know, and now I know what to watch out for if I purchase one. One mans errors teaches another.  Now start smoking! ;D
