    Pit Boss Classic questions

    I do have a Maverick thermometer but chose not to use it for the first one as I watched a lot of video on this model and all of them were right on. However in the future I will use it. I found it interesting that the analog thermometer never broke 200F but the control panel was saying 390F

    Hello all. I have an old Cabela's Premium Bullet Style Electric Smoker. Still working. The bowl that is used for the wood chips has all but rotted through on the bottom and will soon be unuseable. For the time being I have heavily wrapped it with aluminum foil since it sits on the heating...
