Cookshack Model 250/260 SmartSmoker Oven 8 Ver. 06.1
Setting the Cooking Temperature
Your Cookshack Models 250/260 has the new Cookshack IQ3 control system. This controller has the same
great cook & hold features as the previous models of the IQ controller, but with an additional feature that allows
you to cook with a meat probe. This optional probe plugs into the unit and allows you to set the internal
temperature to which you want the product cooked. If you did not purchase the meat probe with your unit, call
Cookshack Customer Service today at (800) 423-0698 to order your probe.
Directions for Setting the Controller
1. Turn Master Switch ON.
2. Choose the desired mode by pressing the Mode button while
simultaneously pushing the up or down arrow until the desired
Mode flashes: Cook & Hold for standard operation, Probe Mode
if cooking with the optional meat probe. The default mode is
Cook & Hold.
3. Set Cooking temperature by pressing and holding the Cook
Temp button. Adjust temperature up or down with the “adjust
time or temperature” buttons.
4. Set Hold temperature by pressing and holding the Hold
temperature button. Adjust with the “adjust time or
temperature” buttons.
5. If using the Cook & Hold mode, set Cook Time by pressing and
holding the Cook Time button. Adjust with the “adjust time or

6. If using the Probe Mode, adjust Probe Temperature by pressing and Holding the Probe Temp button. Adjust
the temperature with the “adjust time or temperature” buttons.
7. Press Start.
If using the Meat Probe, simply insert the probe into the covered RCA jack on the controller panel. Place the
probe end through the vent hole on the oven top and press into the largest piece of meat in the smoker oven. The
oven will cook at the set temperature until the internal temperature of the meat hits the temperature at which the
probe is set. At that point the oven temperature will change to the set Hold Temp and remain until the unit is
manually shut down. An audible signal indicates that the Cook cycle is complete and that the oven is going to
the Hold Temperature Mode.
If cooking in the default Cook & Hold mode the smoker will cook the product at the selected Cook Temperature
for the selected Cook Time and then change to the selected Hold Temperature until it is shut off manually.
During the Cook & Hold mode, the LCD display of the IQ continually displays oven status after the Cook cycle
has been started. Using these features any kitchen staff can easily determine the status of the load in progress.
Please note that the Oven Temperature that is displayed while the oven is running is the actual temperature
inside the oven. In order to see the Set Cook Temp, Hold Temp or Cook Time briefly press the corresponding
Set button.
