Do not use smoker on wooden surface or any other surface that could burn. Place the smoker in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind and keep the smoker away from open windows or doors to prevent smoke from entering your home. - Page 17 Warning: When connecting controller to smoker, plug electric controller into smoker first, make sure controller is set to OFF, then plug into outlet.

The desired temperature for smoking is between 220F and 250F.

Questions and answers
Why does it kick out ? set temp to 250 click set nothing
The Pit Boss PBV3A1 may kick out at 250°F due to insufficient heat reaching the wood chips. The manual suggests that if the temperature is set too low, the wood chips may not generate enough heat. To resolve this, open the rear vents completely to improve airflow and reset the temperature higher to activate the heating element for 20 minutes. If the issue persists, the wood chip box may be damaged and may need replacement.

I was using my smoker then my temp starts dropping but the auger is still working and there's fire in it
The temperature in your Pit Boss smoker model PBV3A1 may be dropping even though the auger is working and there is fire due to several possible reasons:
1. Cold Weather: If the outside temperature is below 18°C (65°F), it can take longer for the unit to heat and maintain temperature.
2. Extension Cord Use: Using an extension cord can reduce power to the unit. Plug the smoker directly into a power source.
3. Poor Heating Element Connection: Check if the heating element connectors are firmly connected. Disconnect and reconnect them to ensure proper contact.
4. Defective Controller: If the controller is malfunctioning, it may not regulate temperature correctly and should be replaced.
These issues can cause inconsistent or dropping temperatures even when the auger and fire are functioning.
