Title: Digital timer shuts smoker off before time is up
Post by: bigbucks on April 17, 2011, 01:37:00 PM
When I set the timer say for 9h 40min it will shut off after sometimes two hours sometimes  after15 min.It does not stay on for the amount of time that it is set for.It is very frustrateing as you have to continualy watch it to make sure that you catch it from turning off, as to not let any meat that is in the smoker spoil because of no heat.

I assume it is still under warranty, so I would suggest you contact Bradley because their customer service is great and they will get it fixed up for you.  I do not have a digital, so I have no suggestions for you other than to contact customer service.

You can open up the generator shell and look for a loose wire.
