If your wanting to retrofit a pellet grill, here is a rundown.
So for some guys, they want to get the more accurate temperature that a PID controller can give. It definitely is not essential, and doesn’t provide better outcomes.
Heck, think about charcoal offset smokers, when fire management is need and fuel is added sometimes there is 15-30 min lag between the temperature changes. And that works for all the hardcore barbecue guys, but talk about labor intensive!
So Smoke Daddy is about the most well-established producers of 3rd party PID controllers. 4 plugs and a few screws; this is a pretty straightforward changeover.
FYI these links, if you buy don’t cost you anymore, but support the site- cheers Tom
