    Pit Boss Copperhead ErL error code?

    That's great to hear and more evidence that it's potentially just a probe problem. The only time I saw the error code since replacing probe was when I shut the door too early during startup procedure and it got smokey as hell in there. Quick restart, learned my lesson and it's been working...

    I've used my replacement about 20 times now and no issues!

    Pit Boss Copperhead ErL error code?

    I did buy a probe but by the time it arrived I had just exchanged the smoker at Lowes and new one has worked fine for three smokes so far (up to about 12 hours). First option would be to swap the unit if possible but if that isn't feasible replace the probe. From everything I've read it seems...

    It's very easy. The probe has two screws inside the smoker so undo those. Then unscrew the black panel on bottom (think it's back right-ish when looking at the smoker front on) that all the wires are under. I think it's 3 screws. Then you can disconnect the probe (grey or silver wire) and just...

    Glad to hear it! I have another probe coming tomorrow from Amazon so I'll have a spare if needed at least.

    So it made it through the burn off cycle with no issues. Building the second one didn't take any time at all and I forgot to return the previous meat probe so got two now. Fingers crossed it'll keep working through Labor Day!

    They haven't replied yet but just decided to bring it back to Lowes and get another one. Got 10% off the replacement to make up for having to assemble two and drive back and forth. Fingers crossed, will report back later today.

    Don't have Facebook otherwise definitely would. Edit: Scratch that, used a friend's account. Will see what they say.

    Pit Boss Copperhead ErL error code?

    I will call them and see what they say. I have same model as @Ken1946 and when he called they sent a replacement control board which didn't fix it then the replacement probe did. I ordered the part from Amazon anyway, was $11 and will come Monday so depending on time it arrives I should be...

    Pit Boss Copperhead ErL error code?

    Bought the Pit Boss Series 4 Vertical Smoker from Lowes today... It seemed awesome until the ERL error kicked in while I was trying to do the smoker burn off. Tried most of the fixes suggested in here (plugging and unplugging the probe wires, even tried the rubbing alcohol flamer...) but no...
