The S or Smoke Setting

[Steve In Pa]

I use that for awesome beef jerky smokes. Stays a constant 180° on my 850PS

I'm giving it to go this week for some jerky I'll use that setting to start with anyway.

Smoke or S setting update for my model.... Apparently 130° is the default for my smoke setting.
Also using the probe in a meat when I set a target temperature and it is reached the smoker self defaults back to the S setting, apparently this is a holding pattern.
So right now my pork loin is sitting out there basking in 130° f

Good to know, my old controller was around 180 deg, never tried it with the new controller. Same smoker.

After a recent all day cook I set the temp the H to get a good burn off. But it just lingered at 130 or so and wouldn't heat up correctly.
So I manually set it to 400 and it kicked in and within a half hour had a good burn off going. When it's running correctly it sounds like a jet engine in there at the pot.
I'll have to watch and see if this happens again.

When you said you set it to H, was it through your phone? This happened to me if I wanted 400 or H through my phone, I figured it was maybe for safety? Just in case it got butt dialed by mistake. I go to manually once I empty the smoker while I'm out there, no big deal.

In this case I just taking the line out and set it right from the dial. But I was using the app from inside the house to monitor it and that's where I noticed the temperature was not going up like it was supposed to.
