Using FE-100 in Desert Heat

What place are you checking the temperature at ? What times did that change to the auger with the setting on #2 ? Check the lite and time it between cycles of the auger on and off . I have used mine in hot weather and never had no problems .

Does anyone have a picture of the hopper dial? I dont think I need to move anything but would like to know the "inards" a little better.

Our temp check points were the digital read out from the FE as well as a probe put into the exhaust openning.

We used the cooker in an event in Modesto this past weekend. Pickup Reserve GC. Our movement of the auger to the number two setting help a lot. But then the temp at the contest was 80 days and 50 at night. We didn't experience and flame outs so we are going to try moving the auger setting over to #3. As I understand it from Eddy, moving the setting up from factory setting of 1, reduces the number of seconds that the auger is on during each cycle.

My FE100 was set on 3 when it was first delivered and was like that until I had my first burn out about 6 months later! But it used to be outside and when I moved it inside is when the problem started. It happened several times until I discovered the #3 position. The issue may have been air. Now whenever I use the oven for a long period and it will be unattented I use one of my probes in the ovens air and set the alarm for a lower temp then where the temp is set.

Perhaps a previous post will explain to some of those that are asking about how to calibrate or how the timing works. If you'll go back on this forum to Feb 15th you'll find post "Another burn out". I had posted how the FE100 auger is timed within that post as a reply.
