The Struggle with Pellet Smokers

Are you struggling with the controller on your pellet smoker? If so, you’re not alone! Many people have found that they really like their pellet smoker. They love the ease of use, the “set and forget” nature and of course, the flavor! However, there is often one major flaw. The electronics.

In older pellet smokers, the controls are often very rudimentary. Perhaps even just 2-3 settings without any temperature indicator. As pellet smokers became more popular, the controls evolved into simple dials with several settings for temperature. This was all better for the consumer! Then a rush of pellet smokers started hitting the market. Many of these were decent enough smokers and the controls were more advanced. However, to meet certain price points, the manufacturers often skimped on the QUALITY of the components. Especially the controls.

Digital readouts, nearly infinite temperature settings and Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity are great… if they work! If they are inaccurate or unreliable, that hundred plus dollar brisket could turn into next week’s dog food.
