I received this smoker for my birthday last February and absolutely loved it, for the 4 times I was able to use it. Then the digital temperature control Guage started acting up, it won't run for longer than 1 hour if it lasts 1 hour. I figured no problem, I'll just get a new part. Except I got no replies on getting the part... if it wasn't digital, this would get 5 stars all day every day
