Reset Button

best answer is to call tony at cookshack and tell him about it. GREAT people, they will have an answer for you. does sound simple.

If you do a search on "reset" you'll find the culprit is usually high temp, it's designed to keep the smoker from getting too hot.

If there's no sign of fire, make sure the side brackets that the racks slide into has the studs inserted in the end holes. Moveing them to the second holes places the temp. probe ( the one hidden in the cover on the wall) below the protection of the bracket, exposing it to direct heat off the defuzer.

Guys thanks for the response! Of course I did the search first. Thats how I knew about the high limit switch! Very useful forum. I have been lurking around here for a while prior to coming out!
By the way the my first ribs were kick ass! I am going to fire up multiple briskets Wednesday and some butts on Friday.
I really have to nail down a turkey over the week or so. I have to do a few for turkey day. I did one last week & it was caca!
