can you get meat temp reach 195 with time ?

I'm getting readings of 140-145 degrees on the middle rack, while using it on a 55 degree day with the cardboard box it shipped in as an insulator.

It is not designed to get that hot. We have the insulation blanket on it and it helps to hold the heat in. It does a great job. We have not put a temp gauge on it, but have had no trouble thoroughly smoking salmon large and small.

I don't know. The only thing that I could do was to get the temp. set from C to F. Sorry.

I'd venture to guess the manufacturer would have the temperature number. As for cooking on the warm setting length of cooking would likely be extended and the temperature must reach a safe degree when cooking any meat. Be careful.

ya u should cook em longer 225 is good but should b more like 6 hrs they will b hotter and better jus dont open the door

I know for sure it gets to 400degrees within 4-5 mins. I have truly enjoyed the instant sear it puts on my meat. I do grilled corn, asparagus, onions, peppers, whatever on it. It really locks in the flavor and juice of the meat bc it gets so hot.

Yes you can. Just make sure everything is fully cooked all the way through. I'd use a meat thermometer just to be on the safe side.

yes I have even though of the top quality of this product I wouldn't bake at too high a tempature. I have done six# pork butt tented with foil with twice the amount of smoking chips for 10 hours at 250 degrees f. and turned out top quality. hope this helps answer your question. I love my smoker!!!

8" by But if you are cooking on your home grill (which probably maxes out at around 500-600º F) letting the meat reach an even room temp will help you control the temperature of your meat better as you cook it.

I got hold of a cooking chart from another brand (Morning Ware). It shows cooking times for fresh and frozen foods. It sets cooking temperature at 400 deg F. Times are approximate as usual for different brands but it is a reasonable guide. I find that you still have to turn meats at least once to even the cooking. Hope this helps. wfc.

Sort of, but it is still not that easy to read. My recommendation to you would be not to buy it. Mine only works intermittently and it shows temps ranging from way too high to way too low. For some reason at times it totally shuts down when inserted into the meat. To make a long story short it worked as it was supposed to for only about a week. I finally broke down and purchased a Therma Pen instant read thermometer for $96 (I haven't received it yet). I can only hope I have a better experience with the Therma Pen. So far I haven't had a good experience with any thermometer I have ever purchased and I have no idea why that should be! Sort of, but it is still not that easy to read.

Virtually anything that raises the temperature to the recommended range will work. Does not have to be constant, but be above minimum and below maximum - use thermometer and try it out!

1. yes, I usually cook at 300 it takes a little longer,but the meat stays really moist. and 2. yes, with room for a few hot dogs.

You must put the prob into the meat (deepest, thickest parts) to attain the temperature, soooo...Yep!

I've never tested temperature on soil, but I don't see why not. It's just a very long meat-thermometer-looking temp guage.

About 700 to 800F using lumpwood charcoal. The temperature gauge isn't particularly accurate, so I'd recommend a supplemental electronic high temperature probe if you really want to know what the temperature is. The grill makes great high temperature grilled steaks.

To set your own temp you must choose CUSTOM temp. I too wish I could set the meat temps instead of the USDA recommendation of burn till tough. All germs die at 157 degrees. So if the temp of (all) your meat goes to at least 157 then you are safe.

Yes. The user's manual says up to 180C (356F). Sort of a slow cooking. Works for me. I have found the online manual: http://www.wmf.com/fileadmin/user_upload/wmf-de/Service/Bedienungsanleitungen/PDF/aktuelle_BAL_Vitalis.pdf
