I have a digital, but I can’t remember off hand how to do it. I have my programmed in that way and just leave it. If I remember, you have to have the “C” show up on the board?
I think, then you move to the next screen and set the temp. It’s when you are setting either the time or the temp for any cook, I know there are directions on the board somewhere as well. I have my ramp up temp to 150 for 45 minutes, then my smoke temp (which varies) then I have the hold temp. But the hold temp only works if you are cooking by the thermometer function.
If I get a chance tomorrow, I’ll pull the smoker out and see if I remember how it sets up. Because I don’t know if what I said above makes any sense
But, like Brian mentions, I have it set to drop to 145 Once it hits target temp to hold the food in the event I’m sleeping or not around. Sometimes, food cooks much quicker than we expect, so this is a nice function to have.
