I have had my little guy smoker for a few months now and have done maybe 8-10 smoke with great results. I am very happy with my purchase as is.
Since I am a gadget junky and my wife wants to know what I want for Xmas and the Auber has kind of been on my list of nice to haves. I am thinking of having her pick one up with the permanent probe.
I have a couple questions.
1) I have read the install instructions on the permanent probe mount. I was wondering if it’s possible to mount without removing the back skin. Not that doing that is a big deal. I was wondering if I could just drill a 5/16 hole through the inside and outside skin as an option? Then pass the probe through and just have the inside nut on the inside skin and the outside nut on the outside skin in the back. I guess if the probe isn’t threaded long enough that’s not an option.
2) Not sure if I will do the bypass of the onboard analog temp controller or not. Again doesn’t look like a big deal to do it. But if I didn’t bypass the onboard temp controller would I just then set the temp to max on the stock dial and then plug into the Auber and it would still work off my Auber program temp? I think I have gathered from reading if I do things that way I won’t be able to get the higher temps. Not sure I really need them anyway.
Just trying to consider all options before I purchase my latest gismo.
Thanks for any feedback in advance.
