Need advice from the community

Hello to All from Canada

I have a Primo oval smoker that I picked up used and we are having a bit of a time maintaining cooking temps. (Have a large green egg and no issues maintaining temps)

I am looking for a recommendation on a temperature controller for the Primo?
They are not cheap to buy especially here in Canada , on average 35% more due to currency exchange difference.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Regards

I use a smobot with mine, https://smobot.com/
I also don’t really have issues with maintaining temps, how are the gaskets?

I have used a Flameboss 300 on mine since 2017. I’m happy with its performance controlling temp consistently. If I were going to replace it I’d be looking at Fireboard. The Primo can run pretty consistently on its own if you get the intake and exhaust set right. I find that a gradual startup also helps to not overshoot temps and maintain a consistent cook temp.
