Just received my new Chef Camp PS24ls rig.I upgraded from an MES30 using an amps. Did the burn in, then put it through the paces just to see how the temp range was on each setting. The manual said it should hold temp within 15 degrees either way. It seems to do that for the most part. It seems to take about an hour to settle in to a more precise temp. I was bought a bag of Traeger hickory pellets just to experiment with the temp control.
Had the unit set up in about a half hour. Poured the pellets in and I was off and running. Followed the manual and burned off an 350.Then started trying it out at different temps. This rig seems to burn a little hot. On the high smoke setting the manual says it's at 225, I found it to average more on the hotter side. 130-140, low temp 112. Maybe just the pellets I used. Also there seemed to be a lot of ash from the Treager pellets.
Over all this I think this will be a really nice rig for the money.
