Pellet Pro® PID Technology
PID Description Overview
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is the most common control algorithm used in industry and has been universally accepted in industrial control. The popularity of PID controllers can be attributed partly to their robust performance in a wide range of operating conditions and partly to their functional simplicity, which allows engineers to operate them in a simple, straightforward manner.
As the name suggests, PID algorithm consists of three basic coefficients; proportional, integral and derivative which are varied to get optimal response. Closed loop systems, the theory of classical PID and the effects of tuning a closed loop control system are discussed in this paper.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY FAKE PID CONTROLLERS!
These are NOT PID Controllers:
*New* Upgraded Sportsman Algorithm
With our newly reengineered PID algorithm named the “Sportsman Program,” you are now able to set the temperature as low as 100 degrees F for smoking at lower temperatures with a pellet smoker. Perfect for smoking jerky, sausage, fish, or anything else that doesn’t require high temperatures to smoke.
*PLEASE NOTE* Since the hopper assembly needs to maintain a fire in the burnpot at all times, you may need to increase the ventilation by cracking open the grill/smoker door. This will allow the heat to escape properly resulting in lower temperatures.

Application Cutting Template
Custom 3" Heat Diffuser Risers
For custom smokers, we offer 3″ Risers that allow the Heat Diffuser to sit 3″ above the burnpot.
This will allow adequate space for the heat to disperse evenly throughout the smoker.
Made from high quality 10ga steel.

Hopper Cover
Now you can better protect your hopper assembly from the elements!
Made from high quality fabric, the cover is plastic lined which will prevent the pellets from absorbing moisture in addition to protecting the controller.
This cover is designed to fit on our 35lb capacity hopper assemblies.
It will fit on smaller capacity hoppers, although it will not be a snug fit.
Dimensions: 12″ x 14″ x 20″
Also includes an adjustable bottom strap!

awesome product!!! build myself the best smoker on the planet

I originally bought a lower end pellet smoker, and immediately knew it wasn’t going to suit my needs. A bit of research led me to the Pellet Pro Patriot, and it has made all the difference in the world. The unit comes with mounting instructions and a template, but my grill lined up perfectly – no modifications required. The temps run consistent, and within the tolerance I need to do an overnight first stage on a brisket, or an all-day low & slow on a pork roast, and of course everything else is also a breeze. So far, I’ve had no burn back in the auger, which was a constant problem with my old unit. Had an issue with popping my GFCI when I first set it up – a quick email exchange and troubleshoot, and the replacement part is on the way. So … Easy set up? Check! Quality design? Check! Reliable operation? Check! Great customer care? Check! – THAT is how you earn a satisfied customer.

I purchased the Pellet Pro, the heat diffuser and 2 vents from Smoke Daddy Inc last week. I converted a commercial grade food warmer into a smoker. This is my first experience using a pellet style smoker and let me tell the product is amazing. To break it in I smoked up some pork ribs that turned out amazing. Being able to hold a constant temperature in my smoker made all the difference in the world. I make a lot of sausage out of wild game meat and can’t wait to hang sausage and get a good smoke later this fall. If your thinking of making a smoker definitely use the Pellet Pro. For ideas look up Smokedaddy’s YouTube channel. They have a few videos that really gave me ideas for my project
