Awesome - You got some serious room in that bad boy! -
I need to get some sawdust ordered now.

That’s very impressive. Good thing I didn’t find it first my wife would be livid.

I like the ability to push a button and get the temp I am looking for. Great for running the Jerky or snack stick temp ladder.Life is a Garden - Dig it.

I am currently reading and asking questions about the sous vide finishing of cured meats. That will probably be my best route as long as the process doesn’t require multiple bagging procedures for cured sausages.

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

I saw this while cleaning up the unit. I decided to post just in case someone else happens upon a Cabela’s pro 100 smoker and has initial doubts like I did.

lkrfletcher your gonna love it, although i dont have that unit i got the big sibling of it and its amazing. Mine was $9200 with not much difference besides the bigger cabin, internal and external fans, double burner and higher upgraded controller.
twilliams - I assume that there is a temp probe somewhere inside to measure the internal temp of the box. There is a large difference between actual temp and set temp. I set this to 125, and you can see the temp is actually 181. I bet that probe needs to be cleaned. - Any thoughts?
I need to find a manual.

lkrfletcher Congrats man, that is awesome, you struck gold there! As far as groups go to your profile and you can select what badges show on your profile. Whether they show or not you should still get a notification when someone tags a group that you belong to. So do you see this? PK100
-
Yes Sir - Thanks.
On the PK100 - I am noticing some temp variances between the set temp and the actual temp inside the box. Trying to figure it out. No response yet from Pro Smoker, I am sure they are limited in staff due to Covid.Life is a Garden - Dig it.

Just testing it out or smoking a batch of meat? And did you have it on 1250 watt or 625? Did you have your dampers wide open or closed? These are the 3 main things i can think of that would effect temperature. Also im not sure those do have an internal cabin temp probe in there

So the tests were as follows:
No meat
625 watt setting - I set to digital to 100 - Temp came up slow but stopped around 106 - Actual internal temp 170. I did this with dampers open. I turned off the unit and let it completely cool - Ran the same exact test with Dampers closed - Near same results - Internal temp hovered around 180.1250 watt setting - Exact same 2 tests. Difference - It came up much faster, and overran the 100 by 12 degrees. So at a digital reading of 112 - Internal temp reached actual temp of 192.
I figured the overrun was somewhat normal, as it is getting much more power.I just spoke with Manufacturer and they are sending me a manual and recommended to retry it with product in it. So I am ordering some sawdust and away we go with a batch of Willies Snack sticks.

lkrfletcher You might try doing it with some water pans in the unit. I don’t think its gonna change your ambient temperature, but it might save you messing up some product. To me it sounds like you have a calibration issue, possible thermoprobe issue. If its consistently wrong that means it should be fixable… Hopefully the manual sheds some light on the issue.
