Hello everybody. Got a quick question. The last two times I have used my digital 6 rack, the smoke gen just shuts off at random times. I use a pid to control temps. When it turns off I just turn it back on and it seems to work. Last smoke it did it twice, then it was fine. Today it has been running for about an hour then it went off. Turned it on and seems to be fine. Any thoughts? Thanks STM

This may sound like a dumb question but are you setting the time for the generator? Also you might want to check the connection on all the wires.

My question is are you using your PID to control the smoke generator? If so just plug it into the wall outlet and set up your time for the smoke cycle.

Ditto! I run the SG separate on it's own.

   hey there guys i kinda had the same problem here the other day . i was doing some smoking and i always run my unit so that the smoker shuts off first then a couple of hours later the heater part will shut down after the timer says to. however the whole thing kept on shutting off . i unplugged everything and then waited a few mins and then plugged everything back in and still had the same thing happen. Then later on it just seemed like it kept on running  and ran good then. This was the first time i have had this happen with this smoker (digital Bradley 6 rack).thanks everyone

I had the same thing happen to me last night. I set the smoke for five hrs and the heat for nine when i got home from work there were only 7 pucks in the bowl and cabinet was cold and so was the pork. Any suggestions
