I am researching temperature controllers for my Pit Barrel Cooker. If I make my own adapter, is this able to manage temperatures effectively for this style outdoor smoker/cooker? Or is the ISC-028-BW intended use specifically for Kamodo style cookers?

Hello,  
Because the ISC-028BW adapter supports a limited number of oven models, its supported air inlet shapes are mainly those shown in the picture:

Thank you. I did make my own (ugly) adapter.

The temperature controller worked better than expected on the Pit Barrel Cooker. I had no dirty smoke deposits on the food as I’ve experienced with the passive venting. Of course, it was also hands off the whole time too. I didn’t have to check inside the barrel to measure food temp.
