I simply cannot trust my Black Label smoker to do anything unmonitored. Cranked mine up at 225F early this evening to smoke a pork butt. After putting the butt on, I checked on it about 45 minutes later. The actual temp still read 225F on the display, but when I opened the smoker up, there was no heat, no smoke. Banged the side of the feeder bin, thinking pellets were stuck in the auger. I could hear pellets starting to drop, and could see it was starting to function again. The actual temp displayed then dropped down around 115F (accurate, I assume). Came back again about 15 minutes later to check on the smoker, and it was on fire. No idea why -- no grease had been generated yet, and the insides were totally clean when I started.
Has anyone else seen the smoker display clearly bogus temps? This is my 2nd controller for this smoker, but sure seems like there's a Ghost in the Machine...
