Hi,
Love my TARR smoker but it stopped smoking this weekend and i just opened it up. What i found is the wick on the bottom of the tank (along with a blob of cotton or some other absorbent material) and the fill hose burned up a bit. The wick top appeared to be chard but its not attached to anything. Not sure what its supposed to look like in there but the heating element is still working. Any help would be appreciated

The first thing New members to the Forum are invited to do is to go to the "INTRODUCE YOURSELF Page" and give us some insight into you and R/C,
Plus where in the world you are and what tanks if any you have and from where you intend buying them,
That way we can warn you off of the less salubrious dealers and point you in a safer direction.

The wick is supposed to loop around the resistor and it's "tail" has the cotton ball wrapped around it. sounds like perhaps you let it get too dry and it burned the wick off.
