Welcome to the board! Where in Indiana? What's your smoker?

 

[Nate-73]

I live in Bloomington Indiana and my smoker is called a electric Cajun Injector, but it looks like the MES brand.

Unfortunately, right as my ham finished yesterday, it shut off and won't come back on. Outlet is still getting power so I'm not sure the problem is. May have to get a new one.

Thank you.

The issue is that there doesn't seem to be any power. I cannot turn it on no matter what I do. I tried again today thinking maybe something overheated, but it still wouldn't turn on.

This weekend I'm going to try removing the cord and see if there is something up with it.

 

[daveomak]

Check to make sure the prongs on the cord are tight in the outlet... If not, the prongs can be "adjusted" to fit tightly...

Good morning and welcome to the forum from a cool, foggy and damp day here in East Texas, and the best site on the web. Lots of great people with tons of information on just about everything.
