Hello and help

[Ecpiceno]

Hi to all of you. My name is Ed and I’ve been smoking meat for a little over three years.
took me a long enough time to find a forum like this where I can get some good smoking tips!
But I have another issue that one of you possibly help me with. I have a Masterbuilt Pro 30 inch smoker, model number 20072415. Two days ago the numbers on the control panel got so bad, I can no longer read them.
Masterbuilt no longer stores the control panel and I can’t find a replacement.
does anybody know where I can get a replacement, even if it’s not a Masterbuilt?
I sent a message to Masterbuilt support and never got a response.
if I can’t find a replacement for the control panel, I understand I can disconnect it and I can still do some smoking but only at the maximum temperature.
any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks. Edit

Going to show my ignorance here. What’s a lid?

Welcome from Wisconsin. Agree with the other posters. An updated controller seems like it is the answer.

Hi. I wanted to order the Black Cat pid you showed me but couldn’t find it on the internet. Are you selling it?
