I was toward the end of my pastrami cook, about 9:00 this morning it was 162 degrees at 225 temp, I was shooting for 180/185. I was going out to the grocery store and peeked to see what the temp was, all it said was hi. ?? well I unplugged it, turned it off, still the same, the meat temp says hi. So I put on my Maveric, 164 degrees, Ok off I go to the store, CS will get a call in the morning. I check when I get back, 172 meat, 225 cooker. I go put groceries away, relax come out a hour later, smokers at 293, maveric smoker temp is 293, meat is at 178. WTF, close enough for me on meat temp, I remove and foil, really is time to call service, and I have a brand new controller, CS sent me an updated one that boosts start up temp to get wood smoking better, can't be two weeks old. Oh well, my Pastrami is resting, that's all that matters.
