Klarstein Insulation / Heat Shield Degradation

Smoker exterior gets excessively hot to the touch during normal operation.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Compressed or missing insulation, Loose inner liner, Blocked air gap, Operating at maximum temperature for extended periods

Safety first: Use caution when touching the smoker during operation; unplug and cool before inspection.

Steps:

Check installation: Ensure adequate clearance around the smoker as per Klarstein manual.
Inspect inner liner: Look for gaps or loose panels inside that could allow heat to reach the outer shell.
Internal inspection: If comfortable, remove outer panels to inspect insulation. Replace missing or badly degraded insulation with high‑temperature insulation rated for cooking appliances.
