Hi, i have the same problem and still don't know what to do, i really hope that this forum is going to help! I sped all my time cooking because it makes me feel better, i have some health issues, and i was spending time searching for drugs from https://rxcoupons.org .Cooking is the only thing that makes me forget about it! Please help with this!

I don't have the smoker that you guys do, but I can strongly reccommend that you call Cookshack customer service because although it may cost you some parts, the troubleshooting they will lead you through will be well worth it.

GratefulB, you indicated back on 9/1 that you were intending to call CS. What did they recommend?

First thing to check is your temp probe on the back wall of the unit. Is is clean? Is your product touching it and causing a false temp?

The thermostat control itself went bad. There was no audible click when I turned the knob. I wound up replacing the thermostat/sensor assembly (one piece) with a new one from Cookshack, part #PA300 Thermostat. $109.25 and comes with a replacement decal. The fillips screws holding the thermostat are underneath the decal, a clamp and nut hold the probe in place. It wasn't too difficult to do and I was back in business in an hour.I cheated and re-used the rtv plug that seals the hole the temp probe feeds through in the back wall. Took a little while for the temp swings to settle down but it's working like a champ now. Hope this helps,Good luck-
