So far so good!

Smoked two tri tips so far. Has worked flawlessly, and given amazing flavor! Of course old school straight wood is king, but when it comes to convenience, call me crazy, but I prefer electric over pellets. Maybe I've just had bad units, or bad pellets, but I doubt it because I've tried multiple of both. Had electric first, loved it and got great results, tried a couple different pellet smokers and did not like any of them. Came back to electric when I found a great deal on this, and it's been great so far.

Brand new and would not work. Went back immediately and exchanged for another one and it works fine.

Great features total useless temperature readings!
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: Smokey321
I love the features of this PBV301 smoker but the oven temperature reads much lower than actual temperature with the error increasing from about 40 deg F error (reading 110 at an actual temperature of 151, reading 155 at an actual temperature of 224, and reading 240 at an actual temperature of 320 deg F). This makes it pretty useless for accurate smoking. Do you have a fix for this sensor or how do I replace this smoker that has only been used for the initial curing step?

oven temperature is incorrect reading 45-90 degrees F too low
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: Richard H
As the oven temperature is increased from 100 to 350 the sensor reads lower than actual with the low reading error increasing from about 40 deg F low (105 deg F) at when actually 145 deg F with the error increasing as the temperature increases (reading 155 instead of 224 and 230 when actually 320 F and 255 when actually 340 F). This error makes it pretty useless for accurate smoking.
