Thanks! Called them today. I have to say that since they have no "skin in the game" (I bought a used smoker from a private party), I'm really impressed with their customer service! I don't feel that Bill treated me any different than someone who had just bought a new smoker. Great Job CS!
I pulled the board out and saw that there was moisture inside. I dried everything and plugged it back in. Brought it up to temp and the display started working again (Whew!)...
I am monitoring the temp using the built in display, an oven thermometer, an oil probe from a turkey fryer through the top hole and also a cheap-o digital meat probe from wally-world.
Been running for 20 minutes with the following results:
CS Display = 286
Turkey Therm = 300
Wally-World = 320
Oven Therm = 375
I'm confused...
I won't post anymore about my heat problem here as this is an introduction forum.
