Hi I just got given a 24" smoke vault
First time I used it, the burner gave off a lot of soot which I contacted the manufacture and they sent me a new burner under warranty.
So I like that they stand behind their product.
I have now used it a couple times. but is hard to keep the temps of 225 -260
it seems to go either too high too low.
I am thinking of putting a PID Controller on the Gas inlet with a pilot light.
one problem I do see would be the smoke box being on top the burner may not get enough heat to keep wood burning.
I have one of these from my old smoker which is long gone which is 12vdc and has a 12vdc output and a clamp on temp probe. so I think it should work well.
I was thinking of adding a 12v Solenoid and a pilot light
I am wondering if any one else has done or tried this with good results. or if anyone has any other suggestions it would be appreciated.
