Pellet Pro The Original Pellet Hopper Assembly with PID Temp Control- 12 inch Hopper

Very well made ,recommend to anybody wanting to make a homemade smoker or upgrade. Thanks.

The original item may be good, but I received a counterfeit unit - no PID controller, no stainless steel lid.

I wore out my Traeger Lil Tex after several years of heavy use....replaced all the motors and fans, still having auger issues and the controller finally went out. Instead of rebuilding everything again, I decided to go with this complete setup as it has the upgraded motors and everything. I LOVE IT. Was very east to install, yet it fit perfectly, the 4 main bolts are a different size, but line up perfectly and new bolts come with the unit, so no issue. The temp probe has a connecter in the line, which I actually like, but I had to drill out 2 holes in the smoker to get the connecter through and routed to the controller....no big deal, put a piece of lid gasket over the hole exiting the smoke chamber. Controls great, varies the fan and auger speeds, so it sounds much different, but holds the temp within 10 degrees on a very cold day, no noises. Love the hopper dump feature. I read that someone had trouble holding 450F, but I don't have any problem with my size smoker. I'll update later if I have long term issues, but so far, so good. I ordered direct from Smoke Daddy and got it a little cheaper and it shipped SUPER fast.

Bought a month ago and had already given out! And it's been a month and 3 days and now I can't return this?! Someone better have some answers for me.

It is nice that you can set the temperature and walk away, but the fan runs constantly and seems to dry out the meat. I am going back to my old smoker.

Have a pit boss that I use all the time. Was going to upgrade and decided to replace the hopper with the pellet pro. Right out of the box the internal temp probe did not work. Sent an email to smoke daddy and got no response. Now 6 months later the temp is all over. Walk away and 600 degrees or 150...
