Why is my Landman smoker that is not heating? Temp,time and everything on screen seems to be ok and heating light is on still not heating, why?

Bought October of last year. Have smoked 2 turkeys. many chickens, wings, ribs and Salmon over the first 7 months and no problems. It has been sitting for about 5 or 6 months not being used. Was left outside once during some light rain. I am sitting on about 15 pounds of Salmon right now needing to be smoked. Please help.

    Add a Comment A long time ago I read about a "work around" for the problem. It was to pick up a single burner hot plate and use it in your smoker. Costs range from $15 at Wall-mart to the 70 and 80 dollar range other places. Hope this helps. Bob

First, turn off the gas on the smoker, then the LP tank. Wait a few minutes. Turn on the gas at the tank, just a quarter turn. Wait 15 to 30 seconds, turn on the smoker and light it.

It that doesn't work, turn everything off and try again. If it doesn't work again then turn it all off and check the venturi, (that is where the gas mixes with air and is located just before the gas flow enters the burner) for spider webs. Just run a pipe cleaner through it.

You might also check your LP tank on a different appliance (like a grill) to see if it is working.

Testimonial: "It is a Smoky Mountain series electric smoker. Model #32934. As of now still not working.Thanks anyway."

SOURCE: low temperature

I have the same smoker but not this problem. Is it possible that you have not let the coal get hot enough prior to putting your meat in it. When I feel that the temp is not hot enough I try to leave a little crack with the lid to allow air to flow from bottom to top stoking the coal. When you get the nack of it, this thing cooks an awesome turkey.

SOURCE: Cook Times

For the turkey, should be between 20 - 25 minutes per pound. About 20 minutes per pound for the ham, if memory serves. This is after your smoker comes up to temp and you start to see smoke from your smoke chips/chunks.

At about 20 minutes per pound, take the temp of the ham and turkey with a good instant read meat thermometer.

Also, I generally don't use water in the water pan for hams and turkeys, but that is a personal preference. If you put water in your pan, it'll probably take a few more minutes per pound.

When reaches heat, it slows heating and does not start heat up again

Just guessing, but sounds like the thermostat is bad or the sensor inside the smoker is cracked a little and when it gets hot it expands enough to break connection to the control unit.

The digital control panel is not working. the heating element is ok. the heating element is ok but it won't heat up

Use a hair dryer or a hot wet rag on the internal thermostat. The smoke will not start if the internal temp is below 40F. Once you warm up the internal thermostat, it will start right up.

My smoker won't heat. The light on my digital panel won't turn on, but the temp numbers and time will

Hi,

You must check and test the entire eletrical power cord...

Take a look in the power cord terminals ( AC conectors)

Or it´s time to Repair, and you will need to change your heating element.

see the pictures!

Masterbuilt Smoker Model 20070108 Digitial Controller not working. Worked the first time, then no power. I hear a beep when I plug it in, but no display.

I had the same problem this morning. I seasoned it two days agao with an outside temp. of 50. This morning it was 8 degrees and when I pluged it in there was no readout. I removed the digital unit from the top and heated it with a hair drier and it worked when I reinstalled it. I think it had some moisture in it although the unit has been covered the whole time. I am going to call Masterbuilt tomarrow and see what their answer is to this problem.
