    Problem with my MES 40, keeps shutting off

    Just spoke with MB and they are sending out another new control unit. I checked the temps with the Maverick 733 and the smoker is heating anywhere between 50 and 60 degrees higher than the control unit displays.

    Problem with my MES 40, keeps shutting off

    Problem with my new MES 40

    Just moved it to it's own plug and is still doing the same thing ... Also, it is not tripping the GFI ....  I looked through some threads but didn't see the same problem, maybe I didn't look through enough..  Thanks !  !!

    Problem with my new MES 40

    I was going through the seasoning procedure yesterday, and the unit shut down probably 5 or 6 times in the 3 hours... I'm thinking that maybe the problem was because I was using an extension cord, but don't really know..... any suggestions ?    THANKS !  ! !
