Masterbuilt analog electric smoker11/16/2023 Designed with compressor delay protection for refrigeration, high and low temperature alarm, and sensor fault alarm, which makes the ITC-308 more safe and reliable. ITC-308 is an easy-to-use, safe and reliable dual relay output temperature controller. I hope this info helps so that you can learn from my experiences rather than learn through act of doing/suffering yourself :) Simple, quick, and ultimately less expensive - Auber plug and playĬustom, money not that big of an issue, and you like doing the project/work - Build your own So now it just comes down to what you want. Also be ready to spend your time getting it right. NOW, with all of that said there is no substitute for making a custom controller box BUT take your estimated cost and basically add and extra $50-$100 to it because of all the parts, tools, shipping, etc. In the end for COST, buying the Auber Plug and Play seems to win out in my experience and in my book basically every time. Try cutting out good square shapes of a box using a dremel wheel because saws are too large! Now even if the cost of building is a little less or the same there is still the fact that you must spend the time to do it all, get it all right, test it all, replace busted or defective pieces (cheap Chinese parts switches, etc.), and the biggest pain in the butt of being able to EFFECTIVELY cut into a project box for mounting the various controller pieces that pop in/out of the box. In all I found it to be very competitive in price when comparing the Auber plug and play PID's to the cost of everything needed to build one. I think Auber was very smart here and they figured that out with their pricing model lol. I don't know what the Auber shipping would cost you but I imagine that the item plus shipping will run you about the same as all of the parts/tools/supplies and shipping for building your own PID. I can tell you that $100 + any extra tools/equipment/supplies + shipping on the various items in the list will definitely be more than $150 USD. then you are good, but factor in the cost and shipping of all that stuff as well.Īn Auber plug and play PID that technically will handle up to 1800 watts with the multi-purpose probe runs $150 USD before shipping. I'm not sure what shipping would be on the various parts but be sure to factor that in.Īlso, if you have all the tools, connectors, extra wire, heat shrink wrap, etc. I'd like to also impart a little info from my PID buying and building experiences, so please bare with me :)īuying only the necessary parts in the list from that site, you will spend roughly $100 USD. That parts list from the link you provided should do the job.
