    About to buy a smoker...which one?

    I got lucky on Craigslist and found an almost new SmokinTex 1460 . The guy paid 1100 and he needed money. I paid 450 and I also purchased the Auber PID because the smoker had a 30 degree swing and I wanted it precise. I am quite satisfied with the end result and one of the best things about...

    Auber WS-1200 controller

    SmokinTex would not admit the obvious because he is selling a product. If you want exact temps with no swings purchase the Auber controller. It wasn't hard to set up and you can call a company representative to guide you with the process. But you are better off studying the manual so you get a...

    PID Controller

    Hello again folks! I am looking into getting a PID for my Smokintex 1460 to mitigate swings in temps and have more reliable cooks. I have seen a lot of people saying the Auber ws1200 is great, but I am having a lot of issues sourcing one as I am in the Great White North. Wondering if there are...

    I cannot get my hands on an Auber unfortunately. I live in Canada and they just are not available.

    Auber WS-1200 controller

    Thanks for the quick reply! Is it worth it for briskets, ribs and butts? I too am concerned about the swings. Was it easy to set up? I looked over the guide for the Smokin-it calibration and honestly I dont even know what I was looking at haha.

    Struggling with Brisket

    Thanks so much for your response and advice. The Smokintex is an electric box cooker, so not much in the way of fire management beyond turning the knob. The bottom of the brisket was not just a dark bark, it was burnt, crusty and dry. So you think that if my knob says 225, I am likely cooking...

    Hello from Arizona.

    ...propping lid open, closing, changing how far open, rotating sausage, rearranging, etc. While it turned out great, I opted to buy myself a SmokinTex 1400 analog electric smoker thinking all problems solved. Once again, I bought a product from a great company with great customer service. I...

    Auber WS-1200 controller

    You can program it to save settings for each item you smoke. I have the 1460 too and it had 30 degree temperature swings. The guy at SmokinTex said it was no big deal but I bought the Auber controller and never looked back. I do a lot of summer sausage and bologna so I need exact temps and the...

    PID Controller

    Auber does ship to Canada but depending on where you're at it could be a few week wait and I don't know how badly customs would work you over. " For international packages shipped by USPS, the transit time varies from country to country. In general, it takes 2 - 3 weeks to arrive in the east...

    Help needed Summer sausage using SmokinTex 1400 with Auber AW-WST1510H-W

    poacherjoe.... I mounted a permanent probe about two inches down slightly off center in my 1400. There is an angle iron support running vertically dead center so off to the side of that. I put rack holders in uppermost position and mounted sensor just below second rack as it would be just below...

    PID and heating element?

    I have the Auber WS1200 controller and I use it on my SmokinTex 1460 electric smoker to control the temperature when I make sausage etc. I can make 6 separate programs on it and when I turn it on it does the rest. No need to sit around and watch the temperature. This one I believe is designed...

    Which Electric Smoker for Small Gatherings?

    I started out with a little chief smoker and moved up to the SmokinTex 1460 with no regrets. I did spent some money on an Auber PID controller for more precise temps when making sausage. Be careful you will probably start gaining weight because of how good everything tastes. lol

    Are the more expensive electric smokers worth the price and if so why

    I have a 2013 smokin-it model 3 and it is wonderful. It has never skipped a beat. Highly recommend it. Also look at SmokinTex and Cookshack. Have done 0 mods ... did not need to. Holds 40 plus lbs. i Cold smoke a lot with the cold smoking plate too.

    Best Smoker?

    JC in GB forgot one.. How Fat do you want to get ? I bought the SmokinTex 1460 and have done nothing but cook everything except the kitchen sink on it. I really got it for summer sausage and bologna but it does so much more that my waistline is..... Well lets just call it Spandex .The WSM is a...

    Cookshack Amerique SM066

    ...would be the Smokin-it model 3D. 3 year warranty less the controller with is 1 year. But finding one used is rare and new they are pricey. They also have analog, as does SmokinTex, but my computer stated their website is not secure, expired certs. But look them up. https://www.smokin-it.com
