So, good thing I went to check my MES when I did, because it was doing the EFF..whichever one it is for 'to cold' or some thing.

The thermal probe that is built in isn't giving me feed back either, just dashes on the remote controller and actual control unit. The thing is? It had worked, I got it up to temps, my fatty is reading 140f IT on my Maverick. <Which is what I use>

So some thing is wrong, and I have no idea what it is...it's not to cold, since it's running, and sure isn't to hot, because..well, it's not. It's reading about 98f inside now, so it's probably been off a half hour. I have no idea what this is about. I'll keep an eye on it, but has any one else had the built in probe crap out and cause this?
 
You have tapped in to the reason I decided to stay away from the built in's, Tom.
I read too many tales of woe over too many overly complicated built in's.
I decided to forgo the built in, and to go with an external.
Even at that, I stayed simple. Just a pit probe, and a meat probe.
I did wind up with a nice box with a digitally controlled heater in it.
Then I built a smoker, with many ideas from here, grafted with my own.

I wasn't using the built in though. It was just not reading any thing, which I suspect is related to the error code! Now I'm worried about doing overnights !
