    MES TROUBLE

    The only access panel on the back is for the element. I must have to remove the whole back panel to access that switch?

    MES TROUBLE

    Just checked it with multimeter. Comes in at17.5 ohms. also the leads look pristine. (like I said, this unit is only 1yr old.) If were to guess, I'd say the issue is with the control panel but could that trip the gfci?

    MES TROUBLE

    OK. Here's what I did today. Fired it up, set at 220. It got up to 118 when it tripped the ground gfci. Reset it and it worked like a charm for about 1.5 hours. It would heat up to temp just fine and restart when the temp got down to 218. Then the temp shot way up for some reason. ( I was...

    Riblets?

    I just have the nice folks at Sam's crosscut a couple of racks of spares at about 3/4"-1" and smoke them up with a coating of Jeff's original rub. They're a big hit around here at the local VFW during Twins and Viking games!!! (and a big jug of Jeff's sauce on the side!!)

    Off taste when eating Hickory Smoked Que

    Not trying to be a smart-alec here, but maybe it's your taste buds. I've heard that some medications can alter how things taste. You mentioned it happened in various restaurants. Maybe your "taster is stuck"!!!!! Just an idea.

    GREETINGS FROM SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA

    Charlie here. Finally joining the forum after a long time reading it for tips and pointers. I've been smoking meat for about 8-10 yrs now, mostly in offset charcoal smokers. Nothing big, just for family and friends. Usually fire up the smoker a couple times a month in the summer. Can't beat...
