I’m looking at some different pellet grills and like usual when looking at spending money I tend to jump deep into the specs etc... and over analyze.
I’m not talking about PID vs 3-4 setting dial.
I found an interesting statement from one manufacturer that argues against PID controllers (they didn’t say they were bad and weren’t bashing them... just why they didn’t use them). Their argument is that while PID controllers are precise for temperature that it doesn’t equate to precision for optimal quantity and quality smoke. They go on to say that the "temp swing" on a standard digital controller produces more quality smoke.
I can see some logic in this as it would appear the pellet dumps may be more exaggerated than a constant trickle. Also the swing in 10-20 degrees doesn’t really bother me as I try to keep my cookers in a 25 degree range when using my stick burner.
Thoughts?
Hoping for the much respected advice and input from the Pellet Queen CandySueQ !
