Use Up and Down keys to
adjust set pit temp. Press
SET key to confirm.
Figure 6. Change the set temperature in single-step mode.
6.1.2 Multi-Step Mode
A total of 3 steps can be programmed on this controller. Each program step
comprises a target temperature of pit (
shown as “Pit: XXX”
) and an ending
criterion
setting “
X-End
”, where “X”
is the step number. For example,
“
1-End
”
means the ending criterion of
Step 1
. The
“
ending criterion
”
is a new concept
to people who never used our controller for electric smokers. It determines
how does a cooking step is considered finished. Two options are available:
time and food temperature. If you want
Step X
to end after a pre-set time
period
, set “
X-End
” to “
Time
”; i
f you want
Step X
to end when food
temperature reaches a pre-set value,
set “
X-End
” to “
Fd Temp
”
.
After you set “
X-End
” to “
Time
”, you will
need
to set “
X-Time
”
. Here,
“
X-Time
”
is defined as the time duration (in hh:mm format) of the current step. The timer
will start counting even if the pit temperature has not yet reached the target pit
temperature. So,
please make sure that the step time is long enough. If the
step time is too short, the controller may continue to the next step no matter
what the actually pit temperature is.
If you set “
X-End
”
to
“
X-Fd Temp
”, you
will need
to set “
X-Fd Temp
”
to the desired food temperature (Probe 2).

Figure 7. For each cooking step, set the target pit temperature, ending
criterion, and timer or target food temperature.
From the AuberSmart app, you can still view and change both time and food
temperature of each step, but only one setting is relevant to the current
cooking step depending on the the
X-End
setting.
If
“
X-End
”
of a certain step is set to
“
Fd Temp
” while the food
probe is not
plugged in, this step will never end. Pit probe should always be plugged in
otherwise controller will stop sending power to the fan.

In this example, a user set the pit temperature of Step 1 to 275° F, which
is higher than normal smoking temperature,
to speed up the “low and
slow” cooking without compromising the moisture. Step 1 will end
when
the food temperature reaches 170° F. In Step 2, pit temperature will be
lowered to 225° F and stay there for 6 hours. After that, the program
ends because the Step 3 is set to end by time and the timer is set to
“0:00”
. The controller will stop its output when Step 2 is done, it will give
beeping sound until the buzzer is muted or the power input has been
reset.

In this program, the pit temperature of Step 1 is set at 200° F for 1 hour
30 minutes. Then, the pit temperature will be raised to 225° F in Step 2
for 5 hours. Step 3 will be skipped because its timer is set to 0:00. The
entire cooking program ends when the Step 2 is finished.
A flow chart of how to enter the cooking profile described in the Example 1 is
shown in Figure 8. To start program the cooking profile, press SET key shortly
to enter the Cooking Profile Programming mode. The top line in the display
shows the step number “Step: 1” and the current target of pit temperature “Pit:
225”. To enter or edit the profile:
1) Use
▲
or
▼
key to move the cursor “>” to the parameter you want to edit.
2) Press SET key, the value to be edited should start blinking.
3) Use
▲
or
▼
arrow key to edit the value.
4) Then press SET key again to save the change. That parameter value will
stop blinking.
5) Use
▲
or
▼
key to go another parameter, repeat the previous operations
till you have finished entering the cooking profile.
The temperature setting will not be saved if SET is not pressed. After
programming the necessary steps for cooking, you can finish programming by
pressing the Time/Back key to exit the menu. Or, you can use
▲
or
▼
key to
go to “
Back
”, and press SET key to exit.
The display can also return to the
normal display mode if no key is pressed in about 15 seconds.
6.1.3 Switch between single-step mode and multi-step mode
To switch between single-step mode and multi-step mode, go to Parameter
Setting mode by holding the SET key, and then g
o to “
System Config
” menu,
find parameter “
PRG
”, then change it to “
ON
” (for multi
-
step mode) or “
OFF
”
(for single-step mode). By default, the controller is set to single-step mode.
Please see the flow chart in Figure 9 for how to access this parameter from
the controller.
