Is the controller PID?

Think it is the same as on the SM066. It is not a PID, with which you can set up different steps for time and temps, but is is accurate. My 066 when set at whatever temp, keeps it very steady at that temp vs the analog thermostats which would vary as much as 25* up or down of the set point. They do have the ability to if using the internal meat probe to go into a holding mode when set temp is reached. It will drop the temp down to 140. You do have to remember that it might take some time for the temp to drop to 140 however, depending on what your smoking temp was set at. This could allow for further internal temp rise. Again, this would be subject to how high your smoke temp is or was. If anyone wants to explain better, please jump in.
