HI,
I have an Amerique and it has been going all night. It is not done yet but I hear a clicking sound about every 10 seconds. Is this normal as I have not noticed it before?

Cycling on and off, sounds like. Seems like alot though. If you are concerned, call customer service. They are nice.
I have had my AmeriQue for about 1-1/2 years now and it does the same thing. When I first started using this smoker, it seemed strange that it cycled on/off so much, so I called Cookshack and they assured me it was operating normal. It still "cooks" that way today, and the food still comes out great, so I quit worrying about it. Enjoy your AmeriQue!!
My Amerique clicks on and off as well. Just thinking about this, it would seem logical to me that it would do it more often when the cook temp is reached but the probe temp is not. In that case it is trying to maintain the specified temp therefore shutting on / off to prevent over / under heating. Might be an indicator that the cook temp needs to go up some in order t reach the desired probe temp.
