A bad band heater will
shut down the control panel
when you turn on the panel.
Then you can't smoke. If
you suspect that's the
problem, unplug the band
heater. That lets you turn
on the control panel and
smoke. The generator
should still start, although it
may have more trouble doing
so. Then get the band
heater fixed as soon as
possible.
•
If you're not getting fuel
or the smoke generator
stops when you hit the fog
oil switch, check the supply
line inside the fuel can.
Sometimes the line can work
loose and fall in the can.
One smoke unit spent 1 1/2
days figuring out why their
generator was shutting
down before they discov-
ered the supply line had
worked loose.
•
If the fuel pump won't
keep running after you
release the FUEL switch,
have your mechanic check
its circuit breaker. The
breaker is right above the
circuit board and has 5
written on it. If the breaker
has popped out, push it
back in and try the fuel
pump again.

Sometimes when it's very cold, the elbow for
the air line freezes. No air means no smoking.
You can thaw out the elbow with a hair dryer
or hot water. If you smoke often in the cold,
it's a good idea to wrap some pipe insulation
around the elbow.

…The
harmony
had a
sour
note.
We believed it
took place in the
autumn of 1621…
and was
celebrated in
harmony with a
feast enjoyed
by the Pilgrims
and the native
American tribe,
the Wamapanoag.
However, a recently
discovered document
hidden behind a brass
buckle on a black
boot…
…believed to have been
worn by a partaker
of that feast, Barth-
olomew “Half-Mast”
allerton, reveals that
all was not well…
T
he first thanksgiving
in america is shrouded
in the fog of legend
and the mist of myth.
