It came out of the gate smoking beautifully for me. Five months later I’m prepared to smoke a couple shoulders for my family and the digital thermometer went berserk. I got weird code reading, it was shut off after running several minutes, and when it did stay running the burner will not shut off. REALLY in only five months when I babies this thingAnd cleaned it according to directions and cleaned it according to directions. Sure hope they make it right.
