Would this Pellet smoker alone hold temp to sround 225-250? Or would a seperate heat source be needed.

You will need a separate heat source, as this item only produces smoke. ( and a tiny bit of heat due to the pellets smoldering )
1422665
I believe another heat source would be needed, especially during cool weather.

This wold be for a cold smoke application as it does not produce enough heat to dependably cook something. I use it in my BBQ prior to finish cooking.
1422667
No it wont. The smoker is perfect for cold smoking. To smoke at high temperature, you will need an alternate source.

it gives off no heat and will need a lot of fresh are also. I bought it and tried to use in my grill but couldn't keep it burning so i moved it thinking the openings on bottom of grill would give it more air ,but was to close to heat and started whole grill on fire. Haven't used it since. And have tried to sell it my self.

Helps produce smoke by smoldering Pellets and chips. Not a heat source. Works perfectly with an electric master built so I don't ha e to load chips every 90 minutes

Depends on the size of your container and the temp of where you are using it. I'm gonna say that in general the answer to your question will be a definite "no". But if you are using a real small smoker and it's warm outside, it's possible. This is designed to be a cold smoker, though...not for heat.

Yes, if you buy the cold smoke attachment. Amazon sells it and it attaches to the chip loading opening for true cold smoking. You can get a very low temp. smoke with the base unit but it is not a true "Cold smoke"

I used it on a propane grill. It had two burners, and I sat the shoulder on one side with that burner off, and turned the other burner on with the pellet smoker and a bowl of apple juice over it and kept the flame really (I mean REALLY) low. The science doesn't change. That smoker will put off plenty of smoke once it gets going, keep your heat around 220 (and that's a little harder to do on propane, but doable), and keep it humid in there. The shoulder I made turned out better than most restaurants'.

yes, they are your fuel source for btu, as well as great smoke production, you could use them with charcoal for great smoke flavor, these pellets are made for pellet smoker which is your heat as well as for smoke on lower feed rates 180 degree,s or on smoke setting. also these pellets are the best i have ever used

This is a smoker and portable electric grill! Max temperature will be 250 degrees.

I don't see why not. I put it in the oven to cook turkey and the oven temp was 350. no prob. or are you trying to use 275 max to measure the air temp in the smoker? or the meat?

Hi thanks for your interest in the Pellet Pro grill. It has a 20# hopper and at a temp of 250 it will burn about 1-1/2 lbs of pellets per hr. Call me on Monday if you like .Call 847-336-1329 Thanks Dennis

I would say yes. You couldn't have the grill going at the same time but it should be an adequate shell to hold smoke in. I really like mine, too hot to cold smoke in my neck of the woods right now though.

I don'e know about temp control...I've never had a problem when I use it as smoker with the water pan filled with water. The charcoal is at bottom with water pan between and works well. Using it as grill your charcoal pan is placed higher and you just watch as any other grill

I don't see why you couldn't- the probes come out of the base and that transmits to the handheld thermometer.. You will need a shelf or a stand or something near the smoker that you can put that base on - obviously outside the smoker where it's not hot... Since the temps are usually low when smoking I don't think you'll need to worry too much about the internal heat affecting the probe or wire - it will be the placement of the base will be your issue..hope that makes sense?

It works perfect for lighting pellets/wood chips for my smoker. I never measured what temp it reaches. Sorry.

You would need the cold smoking attachment (part 20070112). Alternatively, I've seen a few people mention using an A-maze-n Pellet Smoker inside the masterbuilt smoker to do cold smoking as well.

No, there is not. I use an aftermarket thermometer that I stick in the meet. This smoker is a "set it and forget it" type and it only cooks at one temp (I think it is around 275 deg. F). It works very well for novice smokers just getting into BBQ, and is also a nice addition for experienced smokers who just want to throw something in and do it quickly with very little mess.

I don't believe that would be a good usage The kettle smoker is made to operate at around 190-212 D F. We have done a pork loin roast in it on the side burner of a gas grill. (we cut the roast in 2 equal pieces) so it would fit in the smoker. it will take a long time and be sure and check the water pan so it doesn't go dry.

Not easily. The heat element is in the unit where the food also is. If you are careful about the temp, smoke could be started then the heat element stopped, I guess.

The attachment will allow you to cold smoke fish and cheese without cooking it. Cold smoking is done at low temperatures, usually less than 90F or 30C. At temperatures above that, the product will start to cook and the desired result will not be achieved. Without the attachment this is nearly impossible because the smoke generator will generate enough heat to elevate the temperature inside the smoker above 90F even with the heat turned off. For those of you in cold climates, you would be able to cold smoke only in the winter months. In warm weather areas this would not be possible. This attachment allows you to move the small smoke generator from inside the smoke box to inside the attachment so that the heat generated does not reach the inside of the smoke box. That way the smoke box remains under 90F and you can cold smoke your fish or cheese without cooking it. Just make sure that the ambient outdoor temperature is low enough so that the main smoke box does not reach the critical 90F. I cold smoke salmon almost all year, I just make sure the outdoor temp is below 80F. Enjoy ! BTW, the Bradley cold smoked salmon recipe found on their website is phenomenal. If you have access to pure maple syrup, baste your salmon with it during the last hour or so and enjoy the best cold smoked salmon you have ever had.
