Smoker Controller for 120V/240V AC (Up to 20 Amp, 4800 Watt)

This plug-and-play PID temperature controller is designed to control the temperature of larger smokers powered by 120/240 VAC. Up to 4800 watts heating element can be used.  It has two temperature probes: one for controlling the smoker cabinet temperature and one for monitoring the food temperature. 

This built-in controller module uses a PID algorithm to automatically adjust power to the heater to compensate for disturbances from sunlight and wind. It can hold the smoking temperature within one degree of set temperature. The temperature setting is programmable up to 6 steps. The first temperature probe is used to control the temperature of smoker cabinet. The second pointed probe can be inserted into the food to monitor internal temperature. The ending criteria of each step can be determined either by preset time or preset internal food temperature.  For cooking small sized foods or smoking the surface of the food, users can use the preset time as a reference point to finish the step. Using the internal temperature as the reference point is important for cooking large size food because it is difficult to know how much time is needed. For example: You can program the temperature to start at 120F for 1.5 hour of smoking, rise to 132F for 2.5 hours and finish at 190F until the internal temperature reaches 170F. Then, the controller can either turn on a buzzer to let you know the food is ready, or drop the temperature to a lower set point to keep the food warm until you are ready to serve it. This will save you time waiting by the smoker to change the settings manually when each step is finished. The program function can also been turned off so that user can use it as single set point controller for simple operation. The controller has the ability to store up to 8 temperature profiles for different recipes, so you can save your favorite settings for the next time you cook.

This controller has comes with two probes: Probe 1, which measures the temperature in the smoker cabinet, and Probe 2, which measures the food internal temperature (WS-SENSOR12B).

For Probe 1, you can choose from one of the following probes with different mounting method: the free hanging probe (WS-SENSOR10B) and wall-mount probe (WS-SENSOR11B). The free hanging probe can be fed through the venting hole on the smoker; the wall-mount sensor has a pair of Nylon screw and nut so the probe can be tightened to the wall of a smoker. By default, we ship the free hanging probe as Probe 1.
