Hi Harold - there must be a defect then. I set mine for 345 and it stops at that - it will fluctuate a few degrees down when in use - but nothing major. I would contact them and have it replaced

Mine works just fine. This power cutting off thing is not normal. Return it asap!

Greetings Greg... Stainless tube correct? It should cut fine... Cutting it to 0.060 is another issue... That tiny piece will likely go flying if you dont set something up to catch it...

I have the same problem as several other reviewers; mine no longer works in Fahrenheit, only Celsius. The lowest setting is 7 C.

Haven't got a clue Todd, never happened to me. Mine has worked flawlessly other that I have to set the temperature to about 72 to get my desired room temperature of 68 degrees.

I don't know what you mean exactly, but sometimes my timer goes to Zero and will not change. I disconnect the power then plug it back in, then it works. To change temp, touch the up or down arrows.

happened to me too...i contacted the seller and they told me that it usually shuts down if it over-heats and should work after some time...but that never happened to mine so i returned it and got a refund...

Yea happened to me too. I emailed them and they sent me a replacement part. I was told not to max out the heat temp. So I kept it less then a 100 deg. C from the max temp after I replaced the thermol . They did not charge me for the part either. So basically if I were you and if you have time to return it for a full refund and buy another one and keep it 100 c under the max temp you should be fine. You could email them and see if they will give you the replacement part but it was a little hard changing the part. But it can be done. It's been working fine ever since.

Sounds like it's defective. I never really calibrated mine, but it seems to work fine. Sorry! Send it back

So far, it seems to stay at 400 which is where I set it. The other day, I raised the heat & when I turned it on the next time, it went right back to 400.

Sounds like you have a bad control board. The temp can be set on both the front face of the unit and with the remote control. Take it back and get a new one!!

I have trouble getting the meat temperature to above 170 F. I don't think it is a power issue but a controller issue. Whatever the cause, the smoker is best suited to long time cool smoke. I plan to rebuild the temperature control when I have spare time.

I have no idea what the temperature is. It gets pretty hot and I think that's what happened to mine. I am guessing that it overheated and the motor burnt out??? No other reason for it to have stopped working after a few months and under 10 usages. Maybe someone else actually clocked the temp.

You must have a secondary light source which is causing it to cut off and on. To solve the problem, point it where there is no secondary light source.

Mine goes all the way to 149 and cuts off...That's right where it is supposed to be.Sorry, no problems with mine.

Sounds like a defect. I have never had that problem. The bottom element always turns on and heats up for me.

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.
