From brisket and ribs for a backyard gathering to jerky, sausage, and fish, the Pellet Pro® 2300 Vertical Cabinet Pellet Smoker gives you the space and flexibility to put more on the menu.
Double-wall steel construction, PID temperature control, and a dedicated convection fan work together to retain heat, manage temperatures, and circulate heat throughout the cabinet. Seven shelf positions let you arrange your cooking space around the food—whether you’re making room for taller cuts or spreading smaller foods across multiple racks.
For the backyard cook, the hunter, and the person everyone counts on to bring the barbecue, the Pellet Pro 2300 is ready for the next cook.
The cabinet features double-wall 18-gauge steel construction for heat retention. A heavy-duty convection fan circulates heat throughout the cooking chamber to help reduce hot and cold spots—especially useful when cooking across multiple shelves.
Heat-resistant door seals and two door latches help retain heat, while an adjustable top vent and reverse-flow-style side vent let you manage ventilation.
The Pellet Pro PID controller offers a standard temperature range of 160°F–450°F in 5°F increments, maintaining temperatures within approximately 5–10°F of the setpoint.
For lower-temperature smoking, the Sportsman Program adds settings from 100°F–145°F, expanding your options for jerky, sausage, fish, and other specialty cooks.
The elevated controller provides convenient access, and the included meat probe features a 6-foot lead with cabinet access holes.
Low-temperature operation depends on operating conditions. Maintaining the lowest settings may require additional ventilation, including cracking the door open, as described in the operating instructions.
Your smoker includes:
Each flat rack provides 420 square inches of cooking surface. The three included flat racks provide 1,260 square inches, expandable to 2,940 square inches with seven flat racks. Additional flat racks and rib racks are sold separately.

Weight without pellets: Approximately 200 pounds
Power requirement: AC 110V ±10%, 60Hz
Allow additional space for door access, operation, and the clearances specified in the owner’s manual.
Do Not Overload Your Smoker
You can comfortably fit 40 lbs of sausages, 5 18lb Full-Packer Briskets, 9 8lb Pork Shoulders, 12 3lb Chickens, 21 Racks of Ribs utilizing the Rib Racks, or 15 lbs of jerky (Roughly 2 lbs per rack)
For best results, we recommend leaving at least 3 inches of space between each large cut of meat. This spacing allows heat and smoke to freely circulate around the meat, promoting a more uniform cooking temperature and more consistent results.
Avoid overcrowding the cooking chamber, as restricted airflow can contribute to uneven cooking and longer cooking times.
Use a Water Pan to Help Manage Drippings
When smoking large cuts of meat, such as pork shoulders and briskets, we recommend placing an aluminum pan containing a small amount of water beneath the meat to catch the rendered fat and drippings. Collecting the drippings helps reduce grease buildup on the smoker’s cooking surfaces and substantially lowers the risk of a grease fire. The pan can also help reduce localized heat directly beneath the meat, promoting a more consistent thermal layer for consistent cooking.
**IMPORTANT**
Position the pan so it does not obstruct airflow or interfere with the smoker’s normal operation. Check the pan periodically throughout long cooks and add water as needed to prevent the drippings from drying out and accumulating grease.
Following these recommendations will help promote better airflow, more even cooking, and safer, more consistent results!

PID Description Overview
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is the most common control algorithm used in industry and has been universally accepted in industrial control. The popularity of PID controllers can be attributed partly to their robust performance in a wide range of operating conditions and partly to their functional simplicity, which allows engineers to operate them in a simple, straightforward manner.
As the name suggests, PID algorithm consists of three basic coefficients; proportional, integral and derivative which are varied to get optimal response. Closed loop systems, the theory of classical PID and the effects of tuning a closed loop control system are discussed in this paper.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY FAKE PID CONTROLLERS!
These are NOT PID Controllers:
With our PID algorithm named the “Sportsman Program,” you are now able to set the temperature as low as 100 degrees F for smoking at lower temperatures with a pellet smoker. Perfect for smoking jerky, sausage, fish, or anything else that doesn’t require high temperatures to smoke.
How to Access the Sportsman Program; To access the lower temperature setting, press the “-” button until the temperature on the display reads 145, 140, 135, etc.
*PLEASE NOTE* The Sportsman program adds the temperature range of 100º-145º IN ADDITION TO 160º-450º. You will still have the full temperature functionality.
*DISCLAIMER* Since the hopper assembly needs to maintain a fire in the burnpot at all times, you may need to increase the ventilation by cracking open the grill/smoker door. This will allow the heat to escape properly resulting in lower temperatures.
Our New Convection Fan designed for the Pellet Pro® Vertical Smoker!
The Convection Fan helps eliminate hot and cold spots inside of a smoker and circulates the heat evenly throughout the area.
This can also be used for custom smokers!
This convection fan is very easy to install and operates quietly.

8 reviews for The Pellet Pro® 2300 Vertical Double Wall Cabinet Pellet Smoker with Free Cover and Convection Fan
David Dennison –
I absolutely love my 2300. I use it mostly for making sausage and snack sticks. the new sportsman programs was a huge improvement, for sausage making. I have also done all night brisket cooks, with awesome results. I also can’t say enough about their service, always available to provide help, no matter the issue.

I just purchased this grill last week and wow! I have a catering business and this grill is exactly what I’ve needed. The quality is top tier, and it runs so efficiently. I love that its big enough to fit a full-size catering pan. So far, I’ve done pulled pork, chicken and brisket on it and they turned out amazing. It burns pellets more efficiently and keeps a steady temperature. The three temp gauges on the door make it easy to monitor meats and shuffle the cook accordingly. I highly recommend this grill and will be purchasing more from smoke daddy in the future.

Just wanted to drop a line since receiving the new Pellet Pro 2300. I smoke a lot of meat and usually have the smoker going at least 2 times a week. I have to say I am really impressed with the temp consistency and the flavor you are able to achieve with adding the cold smoker. Since getting this I have smoked ribs twice, burnt ends, brisket, chicken twice and just did the ultimate test this last weekend for my family a 20 pound turkey. Everything placed on this comes out perfect with great flavor and juicy. This coming from someone that currently owns 4 different smokers this one is by far the best one hands down!

These are made with quality in mind. It’s not the thin metal you get on most smokers, or any product, manufactured overseas. Assembly is very easy. A single person can
assemble it in under an hour. I did have one bolt break during assembly and one threaded insert that came loose, on control panel mount, so the screw can’t be tightened. I’ve used it twice now and everything that comes out of it is amazing. Spend the extra money and get the Heavy D stick burner ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY!
The only issue I have is the mount for the PID Controller. Compared to the rest of the unit this mount is a bit flimsy. I worry that it’s going to break off when I press buttons to set or change temp.
Mitchell Richardson –
I’ve had this smoker a month now and wow! Unlike most cabinet smokers with the heat all over the place on the top and bottom, this one makes the entire thing the same temp with the convection fan. It’s amazing, I did 8 lbs of candy bacon and smoked cream cheese for a work function and they came out amazing. I also did two pork shoulder overnight with no issues! No more meat cooking too fast on the edges , I haven’t tried the stick burner attachment yet but I’m sure it works awesome too! This is the difference when you start going to the next tier of smoker! You won’t be disappointed!
Also the customer service is amazing, the latch for the bottom door came broken off from shipping and Dallas overnighted a replacement piece even though the smoker was still usable without it.
Daniel Woodard –
We bought the 2300 a few months ago and we have had no other smoker like it. If it is off just 3 or 4 degrees I am thinking something is wrong because it just holds temp so good. With guidance from the Smoke Daddy team this is the best smoker we have ever had. Cost a little more but I was tired of getting those name brand smokers for cheaper and they wouldn’t hold temp (10-15 degrees high or low) or only lasted 2 or 3 years. I’m a Smoke Daddy diehard forever.

Bought a Pellet Pro 2300 from Smoke Daddy, received the pellet smoker then assembled the smoker. I went to power on the smoker to no avail. I posted to the Pellet Pro Grill Owners Facebook Group asking if others have had a problem with their smoker not powering on, sending an email to Smoke Daddy. I knew I would get an email from Smoke Daddy on Tuesday because of the weekend and Holiday. I got an immediate response from the administrator Dan Seppala, he told me that there was no power going to the controller, to check those connections. He then told me to check the black/white connections by the pellet hopper. Sure enough, I had 2 wires connected wrong. I corrected those 2 connections and the Pellet Pro 2300 is working fine. Dan Seppala asked me if I needed to use the smoker this weekend, even gave me his phone number to call to help me with the power problem. This is “Excellent” customer service!!!! Don’t hesitate to purchase any Pellet Smokers or products from Smoke Daddy! I’m an example of customer service above and beyond, trying to get my smoker working late Saturday!!!!! Thank you Smoke Daddy!!!!!

I seasoned the 2300 yesterday. I’m amazed by the amount of smoke produced on the smoke setting. Just listening to the fan work (cycle) to maintain the cabinet temperature just blows my mind. Smoke Daddy, the 2300 is one hell of a cabinet smoker. I love the fact that after the shut down mode the auger dumps pellets in the fire pot for the next startup. I’ve had Traegers, Louisiana Grills and Pit Boss pellet grills. None of those pellet grills produce smoke, maintain temperature or the fan cycles like my Pellet Pro 2300. My 2300 by far is the best purchase of a pellet smoker. The 2300 is very efficient in the amount of pellets it burns. On my other pellet grills, I vacuumed out the pellet grill and fire pot after smoke/cook session. I did the same on my 2300 after seasoning yesterday. I may vacuum out the cabinet and fire pot every other smoke/cook session. Did I mention that Smoke Daddy customer service is excellent?
