[Smiles1]

in the middle of a cook and my smoker has shut down. Anyone have a quick tip before my day is ruined? What does it mean and what do I do? Thanks for any help.

You didn't say what you are cooking... Use the oven. No smoke, but it'll cook.

I have six slabs on right now. I agree, an oven will work, but it won't work well enough

I would start by unplugging the grill remove the food, grates, drip pan and heat deflector and look what is in the fire pot, let us know.

Had the same issue a month ago. I just unplugged it, waited 30 sec, plugged back in and she fired up as normal..

I have it running but it's really slow getting to temp. I have another smoker fired up in case it goes out again. It has happened twice this afternoon. If it goes out, I will transfer everything and start taking it apart to investigate. Thanks for your help.

I just wanted to make sure the fire pot wasn't over full on pellets, that's whole different set of problems when you try to restart when over full. If it's restarting, I'm assuming the hoppers full, fan and auger are running if so sounds like a blockage in the auger tube or pellet quality issues.

Both the fan and auger are running. The hopper is full w/ new pellets. It is holding temp like it is supposed to. It just took longer than normal to get there. It has been running for about an hour or so now w/out the error message.
