Arduino Smoker Temperature Controller

It then stops the cycle and sends a message that dinner is ready.

Arduino smoker temperature controller.

The dallas sensor tops out at about 250 degrees fahrenheit. The program has these features. I procured an 8 5 pound pork butt dry rubbed it placed it inside my smoker fired up the controller and 10 hours later at a meat temperature of 197 f i had a beautifully cooked moist pork butt. Each schedule can have up to 20 segments.

The flame boss controller learns your smoker so the temperature control is supposed to get better over time. You just use the relay to run a fan and motorized damper instead of the heating element. The universal flame boss supports most steel smokers like the weber smokey mountain pit barrel cooker and weber kettle. With the charcoal hot and the lid on there are two ways to control temperature.

The desired smoking temperature along with the desired internal meat temperature is entered on a 4x4 keypad and the controller takes over from there. This particular smoker is electric but the controller will work on charcoal fired ones too. Here s a short video of the first time running my temperature controller i built for my smokers. It continuously monitors and pid controls the process until the desired internal meat temperature is reached.

The controller set temperature was 255 f. The final version of the controller program. A thermocouple sensor stuck through. Venting to let hot air out and blowing air on the coals to make them hotter.

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. Wanted to get into glass fusing and decided to build my own digital controller based on a arduino uno. If you love data insights into how your smoker performs the flame boss 400 might just be your dream smoker controller.

Control up to 3 zones.
