Smoker controller

The SMART BARREL electric smoker controller runs the smoking process for you: it holds the chamber temperature, keeps an eye on the core temperature of the food and moves on through the stages. It works with a shop-bought smoker as well as a home-built one.
What a smoker controller does
A basic thermostat only switches the heating element on and off, so the chamber temperature swings up and down. SMART BARREL regulates it with a PID algorithm, and PID auto-tuning matches the settings to your chamber by itself. It controls a heating element of up to 3000 W on a 230 V supply, as well as a smoke generator, a fan and lighting.
