    Help! I'm in Limbo.

    Not to burst your bubble, but did you calculate shipping into your costs? I seem to remember the least expensive shipping was over $100 :-( I think it was worth it, but I was VERY surprised by the additional cost I hadn't figured into my equation.

    Temp problem

    So, got my Maverick and tested temps with the new control unit. Bad news, it was still a mess :-( Temps were going up to 296 when set at 225! I had to smoke some ribs last week so I thought I would attempt to manually make adjustments. I wanted to smoke them at 225 so I set the temp to 200 and...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Holy thermometer Dert! What app is that and which thermometers are you using? Just ordered the Maverick 732 but I'm almost sure it doesn't sync with the iPhone.

    Smokin-It Smoker Temperature

    Everyone has to come to their own decision as to what smoker to  get based on the best information available. As one of the two people who have had a problem, I am entirely satisfied with the service I got from SI regarding my smoker and I am still happy with my purchase. I don't think I could...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Gonzo, Love the smoker. The only thing I wouldn't get if I had it to do over, is the cord hanger. The cover goes on much easier without it, and my cord never stayed on it. Also, not only does it cost quite a bit it adds a bit to the shipping cost. I hadn't realized that when I bought mine. I...

    Temp problem

    Smoke, I actually went and looked up the PID. Almost wish I hadn't. It looks like a really cool device. I think it works like you are speculating. It works by turning the power on and off on the smoker but I'm guessing you would have to turn the temp all the way up on the smoker to avoid it...

    Temp problem

    Fascinating! Not sure I need one yet, but interesting. Still waiting for Amazon to deliver my Maverick 732 so I can test the new temp control I installed last week. No pending smokes, so no rush on my part. Will let you all know.

    Smokin-It Smoker Temperature

    Scubadoo, I think you might have missed the purpose of my post. One of the main reasons I bought the SI smoker was its simplicity and few parts to break. I had a MES before, I know about complicated. On the SI, I had a probe that was out of range, called the company and they sent me a...

    Smokin-It Smoker Temperature

    Sarge, They seemed identical. I didn't get down to comparing numbers but I might be able to based on the pictures I took. I am confident, all is well. I might actually be able to do some testing next weekend.

    Smokin-It Smoker Temperature

    Got the replacement part and installed it yesterday. It takes about 30min if you have silicone sealer at home and don't have to run out to buy some :-) The instructions were easy to follow but of course, I feel they would be even easier if they included pictures so without further adue, here are...
