Without seeing how you wired it, I don't know. A couple of things are off though. The 3 main wires going into the turret are 2 grounds and 1 power. The grounds are turned on and off by the board to activate the barrel elevation and gun motor.

With regards to the smoker. So you say you wired a remote switch to turn it on and off? How about the switch on the board? Is it possible you left it on the off position? I do that EVERY time!

Thanks for the kind words, it's was my pleasure!
