Arduino Smoker Temperature Controller

Flame boss sells two different models so you need to be careful which one you buy.

Arduino smoker temperature controller.

Each schedule can have up to 20 segments. Unlimited firing schedules stored on a microsd card. 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 program has these features. The flame boss 400 offers variable speed which helps to control temperatures in rough conditions think rain snow wind as well as any quirks or specific characteristics of your cooking unit. A thermocouple sensor stuck through. Pork butt smoking cooking.

The desired smoking temperature along with the desired internal meat temperature is entered on a 4x4 keypad and the controller takes over from there. Control up to 3 zones. Here s a short video of the first time running my temperature controller i built for my smokers. You just use the relay to run a fan and motorized damper instead of the heating element.

The dallas sensor tops out at about 250 degrees fahrenheit. It continuously monitors and pid controls the process until the desired internal meat temperature is reached. The controller set temperature was 255 f. Wanted to get into glass fusing and decided to build my own digital controller based on a arduino uno.

Each segment has its own ramp rate target temperature and hold time. The final version of the controller program. It then stops the cycle and sends a message that dinner is ready. Venting to let hot air out and blowing air on the coals to make them hotter.

If you love data insights into how your smoker performs the flame boss 400 might just be your dream smoker controller.
