somebody shut me the fark up.
I got to thinking of something today. I bought an Auber PID a while back to play around with Sous Vide cooking. Interesting, but not something I will do a lot.
But, I got to thinking about that PID just checks the temp. If it is less than X, turn something on. If it is X or higher, turn something off. What would stop me from using this PID as part of a temperature controller / fan for my WSM?
The following is the PID I have:
http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=44
They make one specifically for smokers, but looking at the specifics on it, there doesn't appear to be much of a difference between the two.
I would guess the only things I would need would be a different probe, a fan, and something to mount the fan to a vent.
And no, I probably don't need it for my WSM. Just something I thought of...
