Hey guys, I'm on my 2nd cookshack now. Upgraded for the bigger Super Smoker Elite. Over the past month, I've been noticing a "Prb" error. Initially, I thought this was something to do with the probe. I cleaned it several times, unplugged, replugged, etc. and I've come to realize that it is likely not related.
I called Cookshack on it and they mentioned that the connections may have come loose. I unscrewed the control panel and readjusted the connections, but it still hasn't fixed the issue.
After a few test runs and observing matters, I've actually been able to catch it in action. First of all, I set the temperature to about 230 degrees (I've tried other temps too so that's not the problem). I watch the temp climb. Sometimes I plug the probe in and just drape it inside the smoke hole so that I know the temp is semi-accurate. After about 10 minutes with the temperature climbing steady, I will observe the following on the therm (165, 167, 240, 260, HI, Prb). The numbers aren't important, but this is the type of spike I observe.
Does anyone have any idea what this is? The food is taking a lot longer to cook and I constantly have to reopen the door, which seems to fix the problem after five minutes or so open. Then 10 minutes later, same thing. I'm thoroughly frustrated.
