This PID controller is for controlling the temperature of Weber Smokey Mountain or other similar charcoal smoker. It will regulate the on/off time interval of the blower to stabilize the temperature in the charcoal smoker. Note: The 6.5 CFM blower can bring the temperature of the Weber Smokey mountain up to 300 °F. For higher temperatures, please choose the 20 CFM blower.
The system includes:
1) Controller with artificial intelligent enhanced PID control program, It has a bright LED for out door use. It has a built-in buzzer that can be set for both low limit and high limit alarm. Developed by industrial control engineers, this controller utilizes an advanced AI (artificial intelligence) enhanced PID algorithm that can hold the cooking temperature within a tight range and prevent temperature overshooting from disturbance such as opening/closing the pit lid, wind, sun, and ambient temperature drops..
2) AC to 12VDC adapter with 1A maximum output.
3) K type thermocouple with alligator clip that can be easily attached to the rack.
4) A snap-on blower that can be installed on many smoker pit without using any adapter. The requirement is that the mounting hole should be less than 1.2" (32 mm, for 6.5 CFM blower) or 1.85" (48 mm, for 20 CFM blower) at the maximum dimension. This unique design (patent pending) is much easier to install than the other product on the market.

5) 6" of High temperature aluminum foil tape for blocking unused venting holes.

*The maximum air flow rating (rated at zero static pressure) may not reflect the true performance of the blower for this application. The static pressure rating is also important. The fan used in Auber blower is from one of the highest quality fan manufacturer. When compared with a 5 CFM blower from competitor, our 6.5 CFM blower moves more than twice the air mass in the real application condition. It is comparable to the performance of the 10 CFM blower from other manufacturer.

Included in the kit (the sensor shown is TC-K6A. Probe TC-K3MM-C is also available)
