I'm getting very frustrated with my Brutus clone. So far with just water test runs I've observed the following:
I set my temp and the burners kick on with nice blue flames and shut off perfectly at my set point. The problem is after the burners shut off at my set point, the temps keep climbing for another 3-5 degrees.
I'm using Auber SYL-1512A controllers and I've double checked all my settings and calibrated my RTD sensors twice against a Thermapen.
My system is pretty close to Lonnie's. I'm using the 10-tip jet burners on low pressure propane. The burners are probably sitting lower than Lonnie's. The frame does get fairly hot. I will say one thing, the high-temp powder coat on it seems to hold up great.
I've gotta be missing something, I shouldn't have to fudge my set points 3-5 degrees low just to get the damn thing to work.
....I need a beer
