MES 30 fire?

I was smoking a whole chicken at 275 and I noticed I was getting heavy smoke. I opened it up, and saw nothing out of the normal. Come back out 30 minutes later and my smoker is off, and won't turn on. I remove the chicken and put it in the oven and take a good look at my smoker... And it appears it caught fire!
Has anyone ever had a similar issue, or know if it's possible to fix the smoker, or if I'm better off buying a new one?

It appears the lower half of the smoker was caught on fire. (based off the char marks on the smoker walls) The fire was out by the time I realized it was off.

I just tried the smoker again, and it is still not working. Won't even power on.
