PK100 and Iowa winters
-
PapaSop Right now the only pics I can give you are of it in the box in the back of my Polaris Ranger. Planning on tomorrow morning after coffee to get it out and set up. Maybe test it out and season it up. I know out of the wind will help but not sure the 1 inch insulation can keep up.

After coffee? Same here. I’m thinking it will absolutely stand the wind. My LP smoker not so much. Have to block the wind from it. Especially when it’s in the 20’s for a high and the wind is out of N/NW. -
Derek_D I live in Maine and I try to plan my sausage making for the warmer days when I can manage to have it work out for me

Right with ya there. -
Jonathon how well do you think the PK100 will do in a unheated garage in the Iowa winters?
Derek_D those units are so well insulated in wont even know its cooking in the winter. Especially if its in your garage out of the wind. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Derek_D it didnt load up

twilliams I noticed. Not sure why.

Derek_D or you can maybe crop it to a manageable size
-
Let’s try this. Here she is!
-
Derek_D file size too big maybe, somebody else metioned they screen shot then the size is smaller and will load?

Just tried the screen shot option. Huge difference in file size.

Looks like a beast… I’m jealous. -
Derek_D im excited for you
This was my 100SS when it was new -
Derek_D As others have said, the PK100 is very well insulated, so it should work well for you in an unheated garage over the winter. It might take a little longer to get up to temp and you want to minimize the number of times you open the door.

craigrice I don’t have any personal experience but most of what I hear seems to be positive, if you haven’t already, I would snag that!

Derek_D I just ordered mine and it should be here in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Well, actually my wife got it for me for Christmas 🤭
Bgoofy1 It is on my wish list but will have to wait as we are hoping to move in the next couple of years and trying not to buy too many big things that we will have to move, making do with what I have for now.

My PK-100 and Masterbuilt smokers in my garage with venting to stove exhaust hood piped outside.
I modified both units to use the Auber WIFI programmable stepped controller. Auber unit can be programmed to store programs with up to 7 steps. Each step can be set to either time or temperature. Simply pick the program, hit start and it tells you when its finished. All you need to do is add the sawdust and manually control the dampers.
