Saison Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Posted April 11, 2011 Re: First Pork Shoulder That's my DIY temperature controller I built with spare junk laying around the house. Quote
mguerra Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 Re: First Pork Shoulder So you have fan blowing through the corrugated hose and that is routed through the gas door on the back? I see you have not removed the plug in the fan port. Quote
Saison Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Posted April 11, 2011 Re: First Pork Shoulder Yes, the box is airtight, so it pressurizes the whole system. I built a new plate with a 3/4" nipple that fits in the back. Works like a charm. I'll try to get a pic up in a few. Quote

DennisLinkletter Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Re: First Pork Shoulder Looks great.. Time to cook another butt.. I'm dying to hear details on the controller.. Quote
Saison Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Posted April 12, 2011 Re: First Pork Shoulder Man, that thing got rave reviews from a certain teenager who swears up and down that she hates smoked food, lol. My only mistake was not cooking more than one. And not doing a side dish on all that grill space at the same time. The controller is a bit of a hodgepodge of stuff I had lying around. It could be made a lot more compact, but it seems to work anyway. I just need to trim down that 3/4" pipe a bit, as it allowed the KK to run away at 275 a couple times. But for the most part, it did a good job. Here's a thread I started on my brewing forum with more pics. I'm working on getting a local electronic guy to build a cheap version using an arduino setup, although PIDs are cheap in many places - eBay, auberins. http://www.brewnosers.org/forums/viewto ... ?f=7&t=432 Quote
