I have been using my UDS for about a year. I am not able to find a sweet spot where it will "just sit" at a certain temperature. Many online forums have posts where people say their UDS will sit at a temperature for hours and hours.
Therefore, I am interested in a temperature controller. I would like to be able to start a cook late at night and sleeeeeep.
I find that I can adequately control my temps using my ball valve. Has anyone used a solenoid valve (or similar device) instead of a fan with their ATC? I know a fan might be needed later in a long cook when fuel diminishes. But until then, opening and closing a valve would supply air using natural convection?
When using a fan, does air continue to feed into the UDS through the fan blades, and then the fan comes on when that small air supply is not enough?
