Title: Where to put PID Cabinet Probe for Large Loads
Post by: jiggerjams on November 17, 2011, 06:06:25 AM

Hello All,

As the title suggests I am looking for information on where to put my Auber cabinet probe when doing full large loads in my DBS6. I have been struggling trying to get my cabinet to temp when having full loads of meat in there. Last cook was 28 lbs of Canadian bacon + 12 lbs of belly bacon. After eight hours my cabinet was in the 170F
range and I had the PID set for 200F the entire ride. I kept my cabinet probe on the bottom rack and made sure that it was touching nothing other than the rack it was sitting on.

Thanks for the help.

JJ

Thanks for

James, IMO you have it in the right spot for not only large loads, but ANY load of meat.

Did you have your vent open enough?

40 lbs is a load and a lot of moisture.

You'll probably never get it as high as you would like. The 500w element usually can't keep up to temp with that much stuff in the smoker

Thanks for the responses. I had the vent 3/4 open. I was rotating racks every 1.5 hrs. Not sure if that kept the temp down but racks do need rotated.
