Here's the results of the inaugural run. PID control worked pretty good for chosen PID values. I'm currently using HM PID values of B=0, P=10, I =0.007, D=20. I opened the box around 1pm because I forgot to add the water/cider container. Opened again around 5:10pm to check. Finally took off 5:50pm. PID did a great job holding at 235 degrees. I may do some more number playing in the future but these values look pretty darn good. I would like it to get closer to the setpoint on ramp-ups. It seems to level out a few degrees before setpoint and then slowly climb the last few degrees before locking on.
My next steps are going to be a full packer brisket and trying out some alarm scripts/ramping profiles. I really like how this is working out. Another thing I need to work on soon is building a waterproof/weatherproof container to protect this great investment!
