Has anyone encountered a Cajun Injector electrical smoker error message "EE".  I've at present had 2 of these smokers do this -- resetting the machine does no skillful (even after turning the smoker off, leaving it unplugged for several houres).  I returned the 1st machine and at present the second one is doing it likewise (and I was but seasoning the machine -- didn't even have a take chances to employ it!).  I've contacted Bruce Foods (the Cajun Injector maker) but take gotten no answer from them.  I'1000 afraid I'll accept to ship this one back to Amazon.com.  Whatever wisdom from the readers?  Thanks.....Jack

Hopefully someone will be along shortly that has ane of these units. I tried searching for the error message merely didn't readily locate 1. If y'all are running the unit on an extension string you could exist frying the control panel due to low voltage. Use a heavy cord.

Happy New year

Nope....not using an extension cord.  It's plugged into an outdoor outlet on my balcony.  Judging by the socket, I'd say it's a15 amp excursion.  I just recall the thing is a piece of crap!

While there are many quality smokers on the market and I accept used many styles, I've found that Smokin tex and cookshack to be very reliable.  I own a SmokinTex and didn't realize until after I had purchased information technology that cookshack is very similar and made here in the USA as compared to Communist china for ST.  I probably would have bought the cookshack.

I have had very good experiences with the ST.  I don't have one complaint.

What I like about it is it'due south built like a tank.  Everything including the bolts are stainless steel.  It weighs about 90 lbs. and is double wall insulated.  The temperature controller is accurate co-ordinate to my temp probes.  All in all I am completely satisfied with it.  You also don't need a lot of wood and or a water pan.  The juices are sealed in the unit for perfect BBQ.

If you were to purchase the ST 1400 pro I recommend that you also purchase the cart/stand that they built to go with information technology.

All the all-time,

Smoke

Just seen this thread, and I have the same problem.  Thanksgiving morning and I fired up the smoker to cook the brisket, and bam.....EE on the readout.

Non existence i to be defeated past electronics when it comes to brisket, I tore into the stupid affair.  Later on nearly an hour I constitute that the error is acquired past a faulty meat probe thermometer.  Depression and behold, I was able to get the affair going.

If you get the dreaded EE code.  Unplug the smoker, and of form you all know almost safety with electricity and then take the proper step to brand sure you don't get shocked.  Take out the racks and turn the smoker upside down.  Remove the piddling door that is sealed and rivited.  Just pry information technology up gently with a apartment screwdriver and the cheap rivits will popular out.    On the circuit lath there is a bank of connections.  At that place are 3 plugs.  One with five little wires, (it goes to the controller) i with ii piffling blackness wires,(they become to 1 of the thermometers) and one with a piffling red and black wire,(Goes to the meat probe thermometer).  Unplug the connector with the fiddling red and black wire.  Lay smoker on its side and plug back in.  Printing the power push button and the EE should go abroad.  If you must have the meat probe, then you lot tin can replace it.  I never used the stupid affair anyway and then it'due south no big loss.

Smokin brisket now.

Hope this helps.

AK, you are them human being! I had some beef ribs and snack stix all prepped for Sunday afternoon smoking, put the ribs in, and blame, EE. Did an emergency google and institute this thread. I yanked the red and blackness wire- work similar a charm and Im smoking once more. Also joined the forum

I like my Cajun Injector, works ameliorate than some of the ones I meet my friends ruining meat with. Simply problem has been this EE matter that happened once earlier when I was trying to smoke in the winter, it was 16F outside and windy, I had to bring it into my garage. BUT, maybe I just like it cuz information technology's my first smoker and I don't know what I don't know! Anyhow, this fix worked, Thanx!

AKforever hit the nail on the head.  I popped the little rivets off the bottom console yesterday and found everything EXACLT as he posted.  A few notes to add together:

one. the console is non simply riveted, merely caulked besides to keep water out.  I used a utility pocketknife to cutting out the caulking to make way for a flat caput screwdriver.  I used ii.  One to pry the panel up and a second to pop the rivets.  Takes a fleck of work, but they'll go.

2. the connectors on the control panel are glued in place.  Being conscientious not to cut wiring, I used the utility knife to cut away some of the excess glue.

iii. using a pair of needle nose pliers, you just jerk to blackness and red connector back and forth until it pops out.  Lay the smoker on it's side, open the peak panel, plug it in and BEEEEP.  Back in action!  One more annotation: if yous're unsure most which wires, trace them back to the exit port where they exit the control box.  You'll see the black and red wires actually transition into the metal mesh wiring of the meat probe.

4. lastly, the rivets are no longer usable to secure the panel door.  I simply used overlapping strips of duct record to secure it.  Works similar a charm.  As for non having a meat probe internal to the smoker anymore, I just utilize a manual, dial type now.
