Replacement probe selection guide for electric smoker controller
This sensor is designed to be mounted on the back wall of the smoker cabinet. Compared with the free-hanging sensor, the wall mount sensor makes the smoker looks neater. Once it is mounted, you don’t need to worry about the sensor location again. However, mounting this sensor means that you need to drill a 5/16” diameter hole on the back wall of the smoker (not a plug-n-play operation). In most situations, the reading of both type of sensors are identical. But when the cabinet is empty, the reading of the wall mount sensor might be 3 to 4˚F higher than the free hanging sensor located in the center. This is because the heater is located in the bottom back. When there is no food on the shelf, the hot air will take a short cut to the top along the back wall. A unique design of the sensor is the thermoplastic mounting base. It slows down the heat sink effect of the sheet metal wall which causes the sensor reading lower than actual temperature. The length and diameter of the sensor are also optimized for the accuracy and response speed.
If you have
WS-1200CPH, WSD-1204CPH or
WSD-1503CPH, this probe is
not compabile. Please check
WS-SENSOR04 instead. Please confirm the model number at the bottom of your controller at first.
This sensor fits the G series WS or WSD controllers including model WS-1211GPH, WS-1210GPH, WSD-1501GPH, and WSD-1200GPH. It also supports SMD or SMK smoker controller. It does not work for A, B, C, D and H series WS or WSD controllers (e.g., model WS-XXXX
A, WS-XXXX
APH, WS-XXXX
B, WS-XXXX
C, WSD-XXXX
CPH and WSD-1500H). It does not work for Auber SYL series controllers either.
Note 1: Please keep the sensor plug dry. Please DO NOT wash it or expose it to rain. Doing so may lead to inaccurate or unstable temperature reading.
Note 2: Default sensor cable length is 6 ft.
