Well I emailed the owner again today asking about the shipping info on the warranty parts he said he would ship out. He asked that I send him again my original order number....so I did even though I sent it to him on the 3AUG. Have not heard back yet on parts shipment so it will probably be Monday before I hear.
I was hoping to have this all resolved and I could install the new parts this weekend to give me time to run it through its paces before my 30 day return window closed.
****Edit: Got an email this morning Sunday that it shipped - great news
I did however use the smoker with the door cracked open as a pseudo cold smoker for Crab, Scallops, and Halibut then cooked them afterward inside the house with the oven and boiled the crab.
It actually turned out really well and took me back to the years I spent living in Alaska, I brined the Halibut and Scallops before hand.
