    Hello ! New souther Pride Smoker is awesome!

    Southern pride DH-65 update and experiences

    About 3 years ago I picked up a used DH-65. I keep looking at my wood fired smoker in the corner and have never found a reason to use it after owning this unit. I got a killer deal on Ebay...$1200 plus $300 freight. The ronco of electric smokers....Set it and forget it. It uses a steam...

    Southern Pride DH-65 Questions

    DH-65 modification to turn off steam pan when you dont want it. There are two wires represented by the dotted line that originally went to terminal 3 of the steam pan 25 amp relay. Tie both to the one side of a 125v switch and the other side of the switch to terminal 3. Switch on you get steam...

    Southern Pride DH-65 Questions

    I said i was going to post a schematic and never did. Sorry about that. The problem you are having is the same problem I had when I tried also. I cant remember exactly what I did so I have to open the unit. I will do that tonight.

    Hello ! New souther Pride Smoker is awesome!

    Sorry I did not reply. I added a switch to shut off the steam pan. A good electrician can do it. the schematics are online. I cant yet say how to modify the cooking times but you can get a sc200 manual that has cook times and temps that work without the steam pan. The sc 200 it the same thing...

    Smoking using a DH65 by Southern Pride

    An by the way...don't go by what anyone else thinks the time should take. This unit works by convection which speeds time up dramatically.

    Smoking using a DH65 by Southern Pride

    You can modify the unit to turn off the steam. you just add a switch. It still keeps things very moist compared to a wood burner as you don't move much air through it. it gives a better drier bark on things as well.

    SMOKER CLEANING

    I think leaving your smoker dirty is lazy and nasty. If the interior is enameled or stainless use oven cleaner and scrub and hose it out.I have an electric southern pride. It gets the oven cleaner every use. I agree that the black crap drips on you food. I wont let that ruin hundreds of dollars...

    Southern Pride DH-65 Questions

    You have to be very careful with the amount of time you put things in for. I found on warm days (I cook outside with it vs restaurants) the time it takes for meat to get to temp is much less. Like 1/2 hr to 45 min less. If the unit is warmed up doing batches back to back the same is true. The...

    Southern Pride DH-65 Questions

    The switch is installed cutting control power to the relay. This allows you to switch low power. If you try to cut the heating element power to the coil you would need to add switch that can take high power. There is already a high power relay there. The SC200 is the same unit without a steam...

    Hello ! New souther Pride Smoker is awesome!

    A unit was just sold for under $1000 on ebay. Probably because it was local pickup only. Occasionally a chain turns them over, I think my unit came from Chilis.

    Hello ! New souther Pride Smoker is awesome!

    One great thing about southern pride is that all the instruction and recipe books are available online. If you follow their cook times exactly you cant go wrong. The only time i have come close to making a blunder is one of two ways. 1) Don't assume I know better. The cook times are almost...

    Southern Pride DH-65 Questions

    I have found a way to cut out the steam with a switch. It is pretty easy. Remove the top cover and find the 25 amp relay. There are two wires that go to the #4 terminal cut off the leads and twist them together connect them to one side of the switch. Off the other side of the switch go to the #4...

    Hello ! New souther Pride Smoker is awesome!

    I've been smoking the old fashioned way for a few years. Just bought a DH-65 Southern pride on Ebay. What an incredible unit. I paid $1000. I had to clean it good and hammer out a few dents. If you are not familiar with these you should be. It is a fully electric unit "set it and forget...
