I've been using my Pit Boss vertical smoker for several years now and all has been perfect. I love it.
BUT, day before yesterday, I smoked 2 turkeys and about 9 hours into it, the heat ran away. Instead of holding at 250, it jumped to almost 400.
Then today, after I made sure the temperature probe was clean, I put my prime rib in and it did great for 8 hours before the temp sky rocketed again.
I was able to catch it in time before it turned my roast into charcoal, but even after turning the smoker off and then turning it back on, it is somehow stuck in high temp mode.
Any thoughts on what the issue might be. There is no way to adjust the "P" value so I'm figuring it has something to do with the temperature sensor.
Help please.
