<![CDATA[smoker issues and questions about pk100]]>I am on my second masterbuilt smoker. I made snack sticks last weekend and had the temp on the smoker reading 184. The outside temp was in the 60’s and I couldn’t get the internal temp of the sticks above 141. Had to finish in the oven. That was disappointing. I will now save up for the pk100 rather than buying another smoker. I suspect that the thermostat in the masterbuilt is incorrect. So my question is, on the pk100 when you plug the unit in does it start at a certain temp? If you press rapidly does the temp increase by 1 degree? The masterbuilt beeps with every press so since I am blind I can get it pretty close to where I want it. Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.

Mine also does not beep. I give this gentleman all the kudos in the world being able to do this blind. Quite amazing and remarkable.

Anyone know if a certain button combination will reset it to a certain temp?

OOOOOO Austin what about groups for the type of smoker you have? One for he PK100 then a few for the master built and some others? That way, if anyone has a specific question on a smoker they can just ask that entire group? Would it be an easier way to share knowledge on specific products? Are we getting too crazy here? Am I asking too many questions in one paragraph?

I tried all combinations of buttons to get it to go back to a reset temperature on startup but it doesn’t do it. When I plugged it in it went right to 180° which was the last thing I was doing so even fully unplugged it stays as the most recently set temp.

I don’t think the PK beeps every time you press it but I will check tomorrow and update this. I will also get the temp the smoker begins at, I believe it is 75 degrees or the last set temp but I will let you know that as well!
