Hi All,
I have a Master Forge Vertical Smoker I got for Father's Day which I have only used 3 times. The first time I used it, the temperature would rise very quickly to temps at about 280 F Degrees and this is with food in the smoker. The second time I used it, the temps were about the same, until about 3/4 of the way through the cook - the temp started dropping very dramatically. Now, on my 3rd cook, which I am doing as I type this, the temp does not rise as quickly and does not get as hot as it did before. It was hovering around 185 deg F for the longest time and finally moved up. I tried resetting the regulator as one of the other threads instructed, which it seemed to have helped, but not much. This is my first smoker and I am not sure what else to do. I did however, call Master Forge a couple of weeks ago and told them what happened and so they are sending me a new Regulator which has not arrived. Could this possibly fix the problem or could it be something else. I had read on another thread that someone had purchased a new regulator with out a safety feature, or something like that, which allows him to regulate the temp on his own (Not sure if I got that right). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had experience the same or something similar and if so, were you able to resolve your issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.
