    Thread resurrectus maximus! Well so far I have not been able to use this smoker since the only 2 smokes I did with it. It's an utter piece of garbage and the flame sensor issue that makes the burner go out is becoming more prevalent as more folks have bought this. Masterbuilt sent me...

    I replaced almost everything, valve, thermometer, flame sensor. One of those is all I can confirm, but not specifically which was it.

    I'm making ribs today, first cook with this unit. Temp runs about 20-25 degrees hotter than the dial, had to turn it down to

    Home depot, but yes beyond return policy at this point. Let me know if there is something I am doing wrong in the video.

    Masterbuilt sent me a new valve, flame sensor, thermometer, and front panel. I also tried with a new tank. Still no result. I push the knob all the way in, full burner. If let it run for over 30 seconds, it still won't stay running. If I give it a hard quick push, I can get it to stay...

    I've tried reconnecting it a bunch of times, tried different varieties of tightening and no result.

    I sent an initial email to masterbuilt over the weekend, got no response. Called on Tuesday, even though I mentioned I had athermotemp xl, rep really did not help at all unless I had the exact model and serial number(I wasn't at home). I got it to stay on for a few moments today but then it...

    How tight did you make the nut around the flame sensor when you connected it? I made it firm but not too firm since it's brass. I have tried pushing the knob for several minutes with no success. Even got wood to smoke holding it so long just to see what kind of air leaks the unit had in the...

    I drove out to Lowes and looked at theirs. It is supposed to be flat in that spot. Oddly their display had the flame sensor copper line detached. Either way I've fired off an email for help to masterbuilt, hopefully they can help.

    I just pulled mine out, does yours also have this flat area on it? I'm wondering if it's a crimp that isn't supposed to be there.

    Masterbuilt ThermoTemp XL - model 20051316

    I typed a reply before but apparently it didn't post. I just bought this smoker and the burner won't stay lit unless I press the knob in. I made sure the flame sensor was pushed all the way in and the nut is tight. Pretty frustrated and disappointed, any suggestions as to what to do? I'm...

    I just bought this smoker, having an issue like above where the flame goes out unless I hold the knob down. Even if I try waiting 30 seconds of flame time it goes out. I've verified my sensor wire is pushed all the way in and the nut is tight. Is there a specific height the sensor should be...
