<![CDATA[IS THIS A PK100?]]>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.

Can’t wait to try the almonds, we’ll see at the livestream!

I want to thank you for doing that field test. Great information. I sent you some wasabi smoked almonds at the address listed on the website. attn. Jonathan (sept livecast). Look for them. It looks like a big place. I hope they don’t get lost.

I soaked the metal end of the temp probe in cleaning solution and hooked everything back up. Seems to have worked.

I am even in more disbelief that I got this working PK100 for $275…

I hope you like the almonds.

Thank you for the intel and the field test.

This was done at full wattage and as you can see we didn’t see anywhere near the swing you did. I’d think there is something off with the thermostat on yours or maybe the control board. I didn’t expect it to stay this “steady” without anything in it but I guess I should have as we recently ran it empty to test the idea of using fire bricks to flatten out these curves and it worked pretty well.

I’d recommend that you look through the manual for any trouble shooting help but I’d also start looking to see if you can find a thermostat for your model.

Figured I would let it run for 2-3 hours and then I’ll try to get it posted today but might not be until tomorrow.

Positive news though, I think the new website is going to be great! It certainly better be with all the hours we have put into it!

I just put mine in the back to test the same.

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.

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.

What were you doing with 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Electric are the only styles I’ve never cooked with. Im thinking about rigging up a PID and electric element for my gravity feed. It seems the best way to go for cured meats.
