- In this video, I will assemble a PID controller, modify my Masterbuilt 140b Electric Smoker, and test the PID. There is wiring involved in this video, so if it is above your ability, the channel in the link below sells prebuilt PIDs.

Thanks for this video. I had watched several others, but yours was the best. I appreciate the to-the-point and step by step directions.
Thank you! I am glad it helped. I will be building another for my brother's friend.
Knocked it out my man. Built my own with your vid. Using it to powder coat instead but I can also use it with my smoker with the plug and play cord set up.
NICE !!
I have a tip for you. Those masterbuilt smokers have an over temp themostat in them that is wired in series with the element. You can remove the cover on the bottom and make a couple of wiring changes that will do 2 things. One, allow you to use the existing power cord with ground, two, it will keep the over temp thermostat in the power loop.
and one more. I saw a thread where a guy contacted Inkbird about the INKBIRD ITC106 VH PID controller. They told him not to use that model for an electric smoker. The ITC 100 is the one to use. The 106 is sold to control liquids that are heated, the 100 is more suitable for smokers.
Thanks
Do you have a link to make that safety mod?
@@USA__2023 Great!!! I already have the wrong one.
Great job. Question on PID. When approaching target temp, does the PID reduce heat output by lowering power to heater or does it just cycle on/off more so that when at temp it is activating / deactivating the heater at the rate needed to keep it at target temp?
I have 2 in my house that seem to work differently, one to control temp on Weber smoker that increases fan speed in proportion to error signal. When at target temp, it just puffs the fan at low speed to keep temp constant. Another on my espresso machine that seems to just flicker on/ off when at temp.
Just curious.
Thanks.
I will research and test it but I think it is on/off... I would hate to say it definitively. I am planning on transferring it to a different smoker in a few weeks.
That's what makes the PID better than a thermostat on/off type controller. Yes, it will start to limit the power output as it gets closer to the setpoint. It does this by pulsing the output which allows it to put out a smaller percentage of power to the element using PWM. Keep in mind that the PID controller needs to be tuned correctly to do this. Once tuned it should put out 100% power in the warm up stage, then cut back as it gets closer to the setpoint. If tuned right it will not "overshoot" by very much and then settle down at the setpoint.
What size wire are you using?
I used 14ga for this project, but the control wires could have been smaller. The black, white, and green wires were cut from the extension cord.
