Replacement probe selection guide for electric smoker controller
Note: This probe is compatible with H series controllers, such as AW-1520H and WST-1520H, and the SYL-3615 controller. It is not compatible with C series controllers such as WSD-1204CPH, WSD-1503CPH.
This sensor is designed to be mounted on the back wall of the smoker cabinet. Compared to the free-hanging, the wall-mount sensor makes the smoker look 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 in the back wall of the smoker (not a plug-n-play operation). In most situations, the readings of both types 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 at the bottom back. When there is no food on the shelf, the hot air will take a shortcut 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 to be lower than the actual temperature. The length and diameter of the sensor are also optimized for accuracy and response speed.
The connector is a molded 3.5 mm jack, providing great protection from water and moisture. The cable is protected by stainless steel braiding, which gives it the same mechanical strength as Teflon cable. The inner fluoropolymer insulation is rated for 300°C.
This sensor is compatible with the H series WS or WSD controllers, including AW-1520H, AW-1510H, WST-1520H, WST-1510H, and WSD-1500H-W. It does not work for A, B, C, D, and G series WS or WSD controllers (e.g., model WS-XXXXA, WS-XXXXAPH, WS-XXXXB, WS-XXXXC, WSD-XXXXCPH, WSD-1200GPH, and WSD-1501GPH). It does not work for Auber SYL or SMD series controllers either.
