Arduino Smoker Temperature Controller

The dallas sensor tops out at about 250 degrees fahrenheit.

Arduino smoker temperature controller.

Flame boss sells two different models so you need to be careful which one you buy. Each segment has its own ramp rate target temperature and hold time. A thermocouple sensor stuck through. The flame boss 400 offers variable speed which helps to control temperatures in rough conditions think rain snow wind as well as any quirks or specific characteristics of your cooking unit.

Pork butt smoking cooking. With the charcoal hot and the lid on there are two ways to control temperature. Wanted to get into glass fusing and decided to build my own digital controller based on a arduino uno. Each schedule can have up to 20 segments.

You just use the relay to run a fan and motorized damper instead of the heating element. Unlimited firing schedules stored on a microsd card. It continuously monitors and pid controls the process until the desired internal meat temperature is reached. It then stops the cycle and sends a message that dinner is ready.

The final version of the controller program. The program has these features. The universal flame boss supports most steel smokers like the weber smokey mountain pit barrel cooker and weber kettle. The flame boss controller learns your smoker so the temperature control is supposed to get better over time.

The desired smoking temperature along with the desired internal meat temperature is entered on a 4x4 keypad and the controller takes over from there. If you love data insights into how your smoker performs the flame boss 400 might just be your dream smoker controller. This particular smoker is electric but the controller will work on charcoal fired ones too. The controller set temperature was 255 f.

Here s a short video of the first time running my temperature controller i built for my smokers.
