All,
I am a controls engineer and, once I pick up my first wsm in a month or two, I want to make my own forced air system. Most of the systems I have found online are digital (ie fan is on or off) but I was thinking of making mine analog with an analog output from my plc going to a dc motor control board going to the fan. Has anyone tried analog control and seen a performance difference between that and digital?
Also it seems to me that with a fan going in there (I am going to find a 5 cfm fan as suggested on various sites for the 18" wsm) you would get ashes blown up on the food. As there are pretty much no complaints on this that I have been able to find, can anyone explain to me why this doesn't happen?
