I really think it's the smoker switch as well, that was the only difference that I did the last time. I think I may want to try the jumper next time.
I'm not deterred at the least and I think this is a good experience for me, just caught me off guard because I was checking my work against the youtube video and wasn't paying complete attention to the tank. It wouldn't have gone far if I was. The TK IMO it's pretty straightforward I don't think I crossed wires on it on the plugs there's only one way to socket them in; just the switch part that's tricky for me (and it really shouldn't) and in the future (FreakyDude) may want to just include that jumper in the package.
I think my next steps is to go to radio shack for a switch. :P
