This is my first cook
Am using the meat probe.
After inserting the meat probe and turning on the smoker the probe temperature says HI. What does that mean? I was expecting to see a number.

I have the cs020, that doesn't have the probe, but I think I remember one of our members say,"make sure the probe end that goes into the display box doesn't catch on the rubber flap or it won't go in all the way and it will read HI".
Might check that out.
Might check that out.
I did my first smoke today in my new 45 and I had the same thing happen with the probe. I plugged it in and it read "HI". I took another look at the plug and noticed it had in fact gotten caught on the rubber protective cap and hadn't seated all the way. Pushed the plug all the way in and "HI" went away and it worked perfectly. 
Greetings fellow smokers! I, too, tried the probe for the first time and it only read HI. I felt it "click" in, but after reading the comments above I went out and give it a HARDER push. It didn't click any further, but the display showed the temperature.
Thanks for the help.
