Built to work with popular brands including Traeger (BAC236, BAC365, BAC288), Pit Boss, Z Grills and Asmoke, the module combines a choice of PID algorithms with connection-fault detection, cool-down assistance, and multi-level smoke settings. It also ships with two responsive meat probes so you can monitor internal food temperatures while the controller keeps the cooking chamber steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the PID controller improve temperature stability?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PID (proportional–integral–derivative) controller continuously measures grill temperature and adjusts the auger and fan to hold the set point with minimal overshoot.
