This PID controller is for controlling the temperature of Big Green Eggs smokers. It fits the Extra Large Big Green Eggs, Big Steel Keg, Broil King Keg, Kamado Joe Big Joe, as well as the Bubba Keg Convection Grill. It will regulate the on/off time interval of the blower to stabilize the temperature in the charcoal smoker. Three different sized blower are offered: 6.5, 10, and 20 CFM. Low flow rate blowers produce better control results at low temperature cooking (<250F). Higher flow rate blowers give more responsive reactions at high temperature cooking. The 6.5 and the 10 CFM blower provide sufficient air for most cooking temperature range. The 20 CFM is good for high temperature control such as baking pizza. But a small percentage (1-2%) of customers reported more than 10 degree fluctuation at 220F when using the 20 CFM blower.

The system includes:

1) Controller with artificial intelligence enhanced PID control program. It has bright LED for outdoor use. It has 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 disturbances such as opening/closing the pit lid, wind, sun, and ambient temperature drops.
2) AC to 12VDC adapter with 1A maximum output. Note: we only carry adapters for two major plugs used worldwide: NEMA1-15 and CEE7/16. For US and most international orders, we will ship the adapter for NEMA1-15 by default. For European continental countries, we will ship the adapter for CEE7/16. Customers in some countries may need to find a plug converter in local electronic stores to make the adapter fit into their socket.
3) K type thermocouple with alligator clip that can be easily attached to the rack.
4) An adapter plate for extra-large Big Green Egg and Bubba Keg.
5) A snap-on blower (6.5 CFM, 10 CFM or 20 CFM) that can be installed on the adapter. This unique design (patent pending) is much easier to install than the other product on the market. Click here to see how easy it is to install or remove the blower.
6) 6" of High temperature aluminum foil tape for blocking unused venting holes.

Note:
1. If you have DeWalt® power drill or other power tools that use DeWalt® 20V Max battery, PA-DD1 power adapter will allow you to power our charcoal smoker controllers with the same battery. Please find it here.
2. Optional 12V Li-ion battery pack can be purchased from other vendors (Amazon Link). Auber has tested this 12V/8300mAh battery pack, which has enough capacity to power our BBQ controller with fan for a regular smoking or BBQ process.
3. Optional Inline Power Switch Cord (DCcord3) for controller's power input is offered. It can be used to manually turn off the controller and blower.
4. Optional Inline Power Switch Cord for Blower (DCcord5) is offered. It can be used to manually turn off the blower when you want to open the smoker's lid.

* Up to 3 A can be handled by the controller if the user replace the original power adapter with a more powerful one.

** 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.
