My Smokin' Brothers!!
I have never had a smoker before. My bossman gave me his old Smokeman pellet smoker a few years back when he bought a RecTec. I tried it out, but could never really get it hot enough to cook, although it did put out some smoke. I have been busy for a few summers and never got back to it.
I pulled it out today to get ready for a smokin' summer and can't get it to stay running. Auger started, smoke came out for a bit, then it just shut off. If I fiddle and fart with it, I can get it to start up for a few seconds, then the fans and auger shut off.
It doesn't have a thermostat. Just a on/off switch and a 3 position switch... High - Medium - Smoke. I took it apart and reseated the electrical connections and threw some pellets in the smoke pot, but to no avail. So sad....
Any ideas from the experts out there?
