All this tuning stuff, P, I, D, Pulsing, has me really confused. I know its for the Auber but don't know what the hell ya'll are talking about...lol

Greg,
That's very interesting and clearly shows how the two build heat differently. 
Nice to see the results displayed side by side. I never realized that the stock controller was either on or off.  I assumed it pulsed.  Now I understand why everyone has the big temperature swings.

That's quite alright, Mike!  Definitely "BBQ Nerd" stuff, but you certainly don't need it to make great Q with the SI! ;)
