Controller upgrade

[Hogan]

I’m looking for greater temp control than the Traeger unit that came with my Pro 22. Specifically: Fan only operation for cold smoking; digital temp control (i.e., 5 degree increments rather than Traeger’s analog increments of 25°); a logical working relationship between the controller set temp and the RTD temp probe; functionality down to at least 0° F.

I’ve looked at Smoke Daddy and Savannah Stoker. Does anyone have any experience here and/or know of other vendors?

If these operate similar to how the FireBoard works on the Yoder, the fan would come on when it's powered on. So cold smoking would be possible
