    Masterbuilt 30" Smoker no longer heating.

    @Steve H I have installed the new high limit switch I never bypassed it. @tallbm First I'm going to go get a can of expanding foam and spray all the foam that is now missing. I think the entire side of the smoker basically no longer has any foam and it was all burnt up. Then yes I will look...

    Masterbuilt 30" Smoker no longer heating.

    So how do you open the tin box? It moves but I have been unable to figure out how to get it to release/come off I found the two screws inside the smoker that releases the tin box. I have hooked everything back up and tested the heating element successfully. Thank you everyone for all your help!

    Masterbuilt 30" Smoker no longer heating.

    @tallbm - I replaced the connectors at the heating element when replacing it. The part I used was from appliancefactoryparts. I'm guessing these are not high temp connectors and should also be replaced as soon as I'm ready to light it up.

    Masterbuilt 30" Smoker no longer heating.

    @Winterrider - yes the smoker in the pictures are of it laying down on it's side. @tallbm - The links you sent for Amazon in this article do not appear to be working. Also do you recommend actually replacing the wire maybe with some better gauge wire? Also thank you everyone for all your...

    Masterbuilt 30" Smoker no longer heating.

    Kilo Charlie: May I ask why you would send this to Masterbuilt? Winterrider: This is half way down the back of the smoker. I don't believe it is the heating element wires but obviously whatever it is works with it somehow.

    Masterbuilt 30" Smoker no longer heating.

    I have what I believe is a gen 1 mes 30. I have had it a little over a year and all of a sudden was smoking one day and some smoke came from the back of the unit. After this the unit would never heat up again. First I contacted Masterbuilt with no luck except they suggested buying a new...
