I hope to have my hands on one soon, so I can install it on the #2 and write good directions for the install.  Will update when that happens!

I installed one of the kits on the original digital #2 prototype last weekend.  The project is not that hard, if you have a Dremel tool to cut the square hole for the SSR on the bottom of the smoker.  Working on thorough, step-by-step instructions now, which should be done soon.  The kit works great.

Tony,

I have a #3 and a separate controller.  Is there a kit available where I can take the guts out of my controller and put it in your enclosure?

Thanks, and great work!

Thanks Tony,,,
I've been dieting real hard and most of my meals have been just juicing,, and the down side is most of the BBQ "I like" has been off the menu,, :-[ :-[
I made some ribs last week for the first time in about three months,, I still swing by and see you guys every few weeks to see what's new,, 8)
I get this weight off then I will crank back up but with a little more moderation,, and do more fish and chicken recipies

Just a quick word on cutting the steel:  wear goggles if not a full face shield.  I know, common sense.  But until you have had a wheel on a dremel or angle grinder disintegrate, you have no idea how fast things happen.  Perfectly safe tools. Still......

And good luck with the diet John.

Would you still need to do an auto-tune on this controller?

The controllers are pre-programmed, model-specific.  The settings are good, but you can still autotune, if you want to check, or get them really tight.  The 2D kit I installed seems to be dead-on.
