    Help.....my Masterbuilt 40 “cabelas” edition would only heat to 50 F when set to 265F. Anyone else have issues like this? I called customer service and was on hold forever and finally did the option for callback but never received a call back.....just wanting to smoke my ribs but fear it may be time/a sign to step into the pellet world.

    Please help.....thxs

    Was the light that said, "Heating" lit ??? If so, check the wires going to the heating element... They may have corroded and become disconnected...
