    My old Masterbuilt smoker just died.

    I have it mostly back together, and it seems to be working. I found the high temp connectors at my local Ace. I had to ask three different employees before we found them. The old guy knew what they were and where they were located. I am glad I was persistent. Old guys unite :) Thanks, everyone...

    Ok, now what? You can't access the junction boxes from the top — also, the insulation is foam. I would have to dig out access to the junction boxes. Thanks for your help

    My old Masterbuilt smoker just died.

    I just looked at the connection I changed when hooking up the Auber Instruments controller on the panel on the bottom of the smoker, they look fine. I do not have the access panel on the back where the power cord comes out of the smoker. If I remember correctly, that's where you would check for...

    My old Masterbuilt smoker just died.

    I think my old Masterbuilt smoker just died. It's hooked up to an Auber Instruments controller which is working correctly. It was working great, and then the temp started to drop, and the elements were not hot. I looked on the site for replacement Masterbuilt parts, and they are not...

    Help with a Auber Instruments Controllers

    You know I asked tech-support if heat could've been a problem. The controller was sitting on top of the smoker and it happen after it had been running for a while. They didn't seem to think heat was an issue but they did tell me not to put the controller on top the smoker.

    Yes, I just checked it again. I connected the controller to a lamp, the set temperature was above the rooms ambient temp, and the light was out, even up to a 1º difference. Once the controllers setting was lowered below the rooms temp, the light came on. At this point, it seems to be working fine.
