Hi all, new to the forums and I'm a huge fan of smoking... Today was a frustrating day.... Started my rub down of a 11lb butt for pulled pork last night, injected at 4 am, set up my 6 rack digital at 6, temp came right up to 230 degrees no issues.... Opened the door and put in the butt and watched the temp drop to 74! Waited a 1/2 hr and no temp change at all.... Checked fuse, plugged in the cord into the back instead of the main unit, no glow...... Checked the forums and found good info...
Correct me if I'm wrong but if you have no continuity ( tone ) between the posts the element is no good right ???
What a way to start our Labor Day picnic..... :-\
looks like your element has gone bad, what you can do is go ahead and smoke... after the smoke move to your main oven set it at 225 ( or your lowest setting close to that ) and finish cooking there, contact bradley tomorrow for another element.. hopefully a free replacement
Thanks for the reply, hate to have the pork butt in the oven........ Labor Day picnic is'nt totally ruined... Have a great day all....
you have a great one as well
