IS THIS A PK100?

[lkrfletcher]

I saw this at a local sale. Is this a PK100 made for Cabelas? It sure looks the same. I literally cant beat the price if it is.

lkrfletcher It looks very similar but tp the best of my knowledge Pro Smoker doesn’t do rebranding things like that. I might be wrong but that looks like cabellas got a hold of one and had someone make a look alike. Top is the same including the watts switch and the digital display and temperature setting buttons on it.

I think I got to get it. If it heats up ok, I am gonna grab it. $275

lkrfletcher Even if it is a knock off (and just FYI Cabelas has nothing like this on their website) 275 might be worth it on the chance it works like the PK

[lkrfletcher]

I found an old post that references that these are made by pro smoker and were made for cabelas in a pro 100 and a pro 50 model. So if the guy is still selling, I think I got to grab this. They no longer carry these because cabelas was bought out.

Think I found some stuff on it from 2014, so maybe they did at one time make it for them. I’d go for ity

it is the same, i purchased one from Cabella’s about a year or two earlier. My manual
on it is from the PK smoker people. Think it was well over `1000 new. it is a steal at $275. Just a beast, keeps working and working and working.

also, if it needs parts. i talked directly with the PK Smoker people and they are really good to work with. i replaced my digital temperature unit and went over the programing of it with them over the phone. good people.

Willy from Dakota Thanks for the information! I’d say anyone who owns that would be a good addition to the PK100 group since there seems to be a lot of cross over.

Also, your Walton’s protocol for making bacon and my Cabela’s PK 100 clone has really taken my bacon making to the next level. (not even to mention your cures!).
i’ve got friends standing in line waiting for the next 30 lbs to be cured, smoked, sliced, and packaged.

Keep up the great videos!
Stay safe all.

It’s a done deal. Just got home and the pk100 is in the garage. I had him bring it up to temp, looks good. Here is the story. It was in a Marriott hotel kitchen for about a year and a half. When the kitchen closed it was given to the guy I bought it from. He had it for three years. He cleaned it all up, and never smoked anything in it. He said it was just too big. So $275.00 later it is in my garage. I’ll post pics tomorrow.

Speaking of these groups. I added my name to a couple groups, but not sure if it worked. At least I don’t see them next to my name in the Meatgistics app. Did I do something wrong, or does it just take time?

lkrfletcher thats a $1600 unit new so id say you stole it

[lkrfletcher]
