Dear Gang:
So I am smoking a steak the other night [using Scarbelly's coffee-cocoa rub] and I notice that my IT is not rising. MES 30 controller looks fine, but no heat!!!
Luckily I saw it in time and managed to finish the steak in the oven.
I removed the back and one contact was completely corroded/fried. See photo.
Any suggestions on the best way to replace this? I am assuming I can find a brass crimp-on contact and then I can wrap it with heat resistant tape. Or I could solder it directly...
Your collective thoughts are appreciated. Otherwise I love my MES 30. It is three years old and I live in a very cold climate, so it works extra hard in winter.
