Hello: New to forums and quite new using Bradley Smokers. Probably should start a new thread but what the heck. Bought the two rack a few days ago, unpacked it and followed the steps to season it. All went well 'cept for a grinding noise than lasted about a couple mins towards the end of the preset half hour, right before it was due to shut down. Yesterday I plugged it in and loaded it up with biscuits set the temp and time and the smoke time. After about 5 mins it shucked the first biscuit into the water and no smoke was produced as the first biscuit was uncharred and again the grinding noise lasting a bit longer. I unpluged it, removed all the biscuits and started over as the error code E1 was present. Plugged it back in reset the times and temp and no grinding noise and smoke was present but not inside the smoker. Smoke was coming out the feeder tube. Then the grinding began and it dumped the first biscuit not into the water but behind the deposit bin. BTW the deposit bit is quite the sloppy fit. Removed the feeder tube and flames were present and melted the plastic collar that the feeder tube fits in. Let it cool down and cleaned what was left of the burnt biscuits and this morning I was going to give it another try. E1 is all I get.
Suggestions??
