It seems that my Auber will not work in single digit temps. A couple weeks ago I posted that I thought my element might be out but after further investigating it appears to be the Auber. After my original post I brought the #2 in the heated garage opened up the back checked my connections even put a new plug on the smoker since I shortened the cord I thought that could be it plugged it in and all is good. Yesterday I tried 2 racks baby backs same thing, this time I plugged it directly into the smoker and she lit,went back to the Auber....nope, I bypassed my stock controller so it won't control temps without the Auber, back in the garage took the back off went back to the stock controller,back outside put the ribs on and cooked em old school, no Auber, worked great 5 hrs. no peek perfect ribs. The day I thought it was the element the temps were single digits as well, just never thought the Auber wouldn't work in that cold, I know it will in temps in the 30's, soooooo it looks like I'm old school for the winter oh well less to hook up in -35 wind chills.....the joys of smoking in mn. winters!
