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.
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.
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.

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..
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
