Thanks! I didn't see this post earlier. I will add it to the FAQ's.

Brian;

If the heating element is bad will the pilot light still get power. When checking with a ohm meter, what should the reading be.

         don't
                   inhale.

Hi Habs

Yes with the tower plugged directly to the wall outlet (no smoke generator) the power indicator light will be on if you have a burnt out heat element.

The ohm reading on a good element should be in the range of 27-32 ohms.

Follow up on my burnt out element...

New one arrived in the mail today (thanks Bradley Smoker for the quick service), took just a few minutes to swap the new one in for the old, plugged in the smoker and the element heated right up.

Smoker is up and running for the weekend now thanks to the troubleshooting help and great customer service from Bradley.

Now I'm hoping to find a PID in my stocking on X-Mas so I can add a second element....

Thank Brian.

I'll add this to my to do list.

Received my new element yesterday, will install it this weekend and hopefully be up and running by Monday.
