    Help this happened twice yesterday

I've been pretty disappointed in mine, set it up for about 14 hour smoke at 220F, started with enough chips to cover bottom of the chip tray, reloaded to re-coat the bottom after a couple hours (didn't have to add much), and ran it for another 12 hours (14...
