A:  The only way to control temperature with this smoker is to experiment with the dial and check the thermometer.

A:  On the analog unit, there is not an independent smoke system but, there is a wood chip tray that is heated by the main element, to produce smoke. The analog system is a standard, numberless Low-High dial, with a standard thermometer on the front door to adjust and align temperatures to the desired. Once food is added, you will need to readjust for the temperature lost with the cooler meat. Digital units have the technology to set a temperature and regain when heat is lost, if this style of technology interests you. Hundreds of recipes can be found on our website.
