I took the controller from the MES (Masterbuilt) I had and used it on the SI3.
Nice set up. It's a simple on-off controller, with built in timer and meat probe.
Pictures, please!
Sadly, this last smoke (probably the 10th or so), the MES controller died. I was able to troubleshoot it down to the box that I installed down by the element, inside the SI3. Probably got too hot and killed a voltage regulator. 120VAC is getting to that box, but DC voltage is not getting to the display up top. The circuit board is covered in some white epoxy so I can't get to any points to measure.
I took some pictures of the decommissioning.
Looked great and worked great, until it didn't.
Almost got my mind made up on an auber. Still planning out the install. I'd rather have it all integrated if possible, rather than a separate box with wires attaching them. I definitely want to keep the SSR cool.
Good news, Funk! How about some pics of your successes?
Luckily, I managed to get a solid 4 hours out of it before it went belly up.
Here are some pics of the brisket.
First pic on the foil is at the 4 hour mark.
Second pic on the foil is after another 6-7 hours in the oven.
