Smoker will not start a new cycle immediately after finishing one; must cool down first.

Safety first: Allow the smoker to cool naturally; do not bypass safety devices.

Steps:

• Improve airflow: Ensure vents are open and the smoker is not enclosed in a cabinet or tight space.
• Clean interior: Remove grease buildup that can retain heat.
• Check high‑limit thermostat: If it takes an unusually long time to reset, consider replacing it.
• Sensor check: If the display shows a high temperature long after cooling, replace the temperature sensor.
