Very little or no
smoke coming

POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Smoker is turned off
• No power

• Smoker was not pre-heated
sufficiently or temperature was
set too low
• Door left open or unlatched
• Improper extension cord

CORRECTIVE ACTION
• Turn on the smoker
• Check for any tripped circuit breakers
and reset the breaker, if needed
• Check for faulty or tripped GFI (Ground
Fault Interrupter) at the outlet. Reset the
GFI or replace, if needed.
• If breaker or GFI continues to trip, use
a different outlet on a separate breaker
circuit.
• Try another working appliance in
the outlet.
• Replace controller or heating element
• Find another outlet on a separate circuit
• Keep all connections dry and free from
moisture. DO NOT use this appliance in
the rain or when snow is falling.
• Turn the smoker off, unplug the smoker
and check the cord for damage. Replace,
if needed.
• Replace controller
• Pre-heat for 15-20 minutes. Increase
temperature settings via controller
• Close the door and latch the door
before use.
• Use cord rated for outdoor use at 15 amps
• Check wood chip level. Wood chip box
