questions re: new smokette models

Yes that is the capillary tube/temp. probe for the temperature controller. Mounted on the back wall, it should avoid interference. The new smokettes only have two shelves but you can place 2 racks of ribs or two butts per shelf. Maybe Cookshack will offer optional side racks to increase shelf capacity like they did with the old Smokettes. The total capacity is, if memory serves me correctly, about ten pounds less than the 008/009 models they replaced. 300ºF seems to be the magic number for crispy chicken skin but if the skin isn't to your liking you could pop it in the oven to crisp it up.

The new Smokettes have gone to a 2 shelf system now. Is one shelf better than the other if you are only smoking 1 port butt?

that would be pork butt.....

Hey Billy,

You can edit any of your own posts. Click on the folder/pencil icon.

Try to put it towards the middle part of the smoker (depends on how the racks are placed)
