Prior to pitching it into the garbage and cutting my losses, I thought I’d ask if someone had similar issues and if they were able to resolve them.
No matter what technique I use the controller wildly overshoots the target temperature. That then starts a viscous circle, of wild swings above and below target. We are talking 20-25 degre. I’m guessing that after it overshoots the fan is off so long that the coals are almost out. I don’t understand why the fan is still cranking away at 25% 1 degree from target temperature. I’ve tried manually bringing it to 225, holding for an hour and letting the controller take over and letting it take the coals to temperature. This morning I thought I’d let it sneak up on the temperature by setting a multi step starting at 215 to 220 and then 225. No luck right to 238. People have recommended more coal, less coal letting burn longer or shorter but the thing is if I can control it with a reasonable amount of accuracy why can’t the Auber?
It does settle down to about +/- 5-10 degree swings after 4 or 5 hours.
I have contacted Auber, usually on Sunday they get back to me a few days later but by then I’m so buried at work I have no time to deal with it.
