    No I do not close the damper. The temperature is regulated by the blower fan and the digital controls.

    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.

  • @pioneersmokehouseschannel
    @pioneersmokehouseschannel9 күн бұрын

    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.

  • @USA__2023
    @USA__2023Күн бұрын

    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.

    that Salmon or the smoke, lol, just kidding. If I can give you one tip, add most of the smoke in the first two hours and sit with the smoke to watch the temperature and make small adjustments. Once you get the smoke on your food the temperature will be stable a few minutes after you set it.

    Your video is the best I've seen thus far on smoking Spare Ribs on the Masterbuilt 1050. I see you cooked your ribs upside down which makes sense. How many hours did you cook @ 245 degrees before you temped up to 275? What was your temp @ the end before you put em in the oven? I cook mine until they temp @ 200 - 205, then I wrap for an hour and I'm coming out to mushy. Thinking about taking off @ 185, then wrap until I reach my temp, thanks!

    I would start with running it on a low setting for 4 hours and maybe 4 wood pucks. If it seems dirty I like 50/50 applecider vinegar or Orange cleaner for tougher messes. If it is real bad you can use oven cleaner but that is a headache you don't want. Let me know how is goes, you can also email on the website.

  • @pioneersmokehouseschannel
    @pioneersmokehouseschannelАй бұрын

    I like it, I bought it from a friend that has shinny object syndrome, lol... My biggest tip is to slowly increase the temperature. If I change mine from 180 to 350 it will go out every time because it burns the pellets fast than it sends them. make small increases over 5 minutes and this should not be an issue. Also, I drilled a hole in the plate so I could see the fire pot to know it this was an issue. If you do this get is as far away from the pot as you can and still see the fire.

    I like to stay as close to 225 as possible for back ribs. I recommend going with something with more fat while you get more practice with your smoker. I like small pieces or - pork shoulder, pork belly, county ribs, and pork blade steaks (thick cut if you can get it)

    Very much so! The insulation is really something I use for winter time smoking. Back when I first started using this smoker the directions call for using the original box as an insulator. They stopped doing that, maybe it was not safe or... they could sell the insulator. in the summer I like to smoke at night on hot days.
