While the technical aspects that make up smokehouses are often the first questions that customers ask us, we are increasingly noticing that our customers are asking us about the technological aspects of their machine.
Indeed, quality smokehouses are innovative both in terms of the materials they are made of and in their technological features.
We give you a portrait of the innovations of recent years in smoking rooms.
Pellet Smoker
Recognized as the easiest smokers to use, the pellet smokers sold at BBQ Québec are without a doubt those that are best equipped technologically.
Equipped with the PID motor, the smokers control their own temperature and thus avoid large temperature variations, ensuring successful meats every time. The PID motor is not just a worm screw that regulates rotation in order to control the temperature, it is intelligent because it learns from one cooking to another, which means that if you have had several temperature variations during cooking, the next time the smoker will have a better performance. It constantly analyzes the offensives versus the results. In other words, your machine becomes more and more efficient from one time to the next. It's the dream!
Only YODER brand pellet smokers have designed their own motor with its own code. However, it is the same operating principle as the PID motor, so it is just as efficient as other smokers.
In addition to being equipped with the PID motor or an equivalent, the pellet smokers sold at BBQ Québec all come with probes that will allow you to monitor the internal temperature of your meat, directly on your phone.
Note that Camp Chef pellet smokers have a distinctive element since, for the price, they come with all the technological elements including full remote control.
Basically, when you work with a pellet smoker, you don't even have to be near the smoker. You can rely on it completely while taking a look at your cell phone every now and then.
Charcoal smoker
Basically, charcoal smokers are generally less technological. However, you can easily add a smart controller that will do the same job as the automatic controller found on pellet smokers.
The Fireboard 2 DRIVE is a high-performance smart controller that will allow you to easily control and maintain the temperature of your smoker. In addition, it comes with 6 probes that will allow you to remotely monitor the cooking temperatures of your pieces of meat, in real time! By adding the fan , the Fireboard 2 Drive is the ultimate accessory to allow you to control your machine like child's play.
If you have a Kamado Joe smoker, there is the IKamand which has essentially the same functions as the FireBoard 2 and which will therefore reduce or increase the air level in order to regulate cooking.
If you decide to invest in a log smoker, know that you will have a more intuitive and natural experience than a technological one. Being no less innovative, log smokers are interesting especially in terms of their composition and materials.
