Element died :/

[Fernslinger]

An hour into smoking 3 racks of ribs yesterday the heating element stopped working. I have 4-rack DBS and that was only the 4th time using it. Ended up finishing the ribs on my Weber so at least we still got to eat ribs :) Gonna call and get one sent out under warranty...this sucks :(

Mine went out shortly after initial use; however, the replacement has been going almost a year with some heavy use and no issues.

Good to hear!

was there ever any official word on the element situation?

[Fernslinger]

I havnt heard anything official. Just called and they are sending a new one.

Order an extra one right away. You need back up

That's what I did, Since I have a 6 rack & a 4 rack I keep 2 extra at home for this problem. ???

Got my new element today and am smoking a new batch of jerky. Back in business!
