Muff pot cooker keeps breaking

[spomey]

Do others have the same problem with their muff pot base cracking?

I have two of them and they have both cracked accros the bottom. I fixed both by adding a strip of aluminum along the length of the pipe contact side. then I added silicone under it to stabilize it onto the pipe, this may affect the heat transfer and it might smell for the first few rides.

also my hose clamps keep wearing out.

what is everyone else doing?

Hot Dogger!

I've had mine for 6 years so far with no problem.

I have had the same thing happen so I went a got a new one I think last season I would leave the pot in the holder even if I was not cooking so maybe this year it will last longer if i only put the pot on when I'm cooking!!hope it works as i am not going to buy on ever year!! might have to keep an eye on the hotdogger sounds like that works longer

They are all a piece of junk if you ask me. Especially for what they cost. The Hotdogger falls off, the Muff Pot breaks at the base and the Hot Pot locking clips break off.

I run a second clamp on mine and have had no problems.

I can't keep my clamp from coming loose, I have to tighten it up 3 times a ride, really sucks

If you call the manufacture of muff pot they will send you a new base at no charge

so almost 4 yrs with good results, guess im just lucky :face-icon-small-coo

never had any trouble with the original muff pot. But the knock off sold by full throttle is a piece of crap. Haven't had a base last more than a few rides yet. Have two new in the box that I wont even install.

Do you happen to know where I could find that number. I have checked on the internet and all I can find is places to buy the muffpot. I have two busted bases.

If your muffpot clamps loosen up, run the second clamp like I did. Takes care of it. Also, the mount will bend to the diameter the pipe where you are mounting it. Use a socket, it makes it easier than a screwdriver.

I have ran 1, 2, even 3 clamps and still had them come loose. C-clamps just suck and will loosen with the numerous heat cycles. Go to Napa and get a nice strong T-bolt clamp. I have never had a T-bolt clamp come loose. They can be tightened down so much more than a C-clamp... You will need to bend the pipe holding tabs at the base to get the T-bolt clamp through (Muff Pot). I needed to bend mine anyway so the base would seat better on the diameter of pipe I was installing it on. A vise works the best so the bend is even.

I just broke 2 base plates on my Muff Pot last week (2 years of hard riding on each). Would have been nice to know at the time they could be warrantied cause I already bought 2 new ones. At least I know now, thanks for the heads up elkhunter!

Second the T bolt style clamp. Gear clamp sucks. I put a wrap of header pipe insulation around the pipe and clamped muff pot base over it. 2 years on the 800 and second season on a 900. If the 900 hasn't cracked the base from vibration nothing will.

Thanks for the thread, and phone number. I hadn't checked mine this year, so I did this week-end, and it is cracked in two places. Would have not been cool for it to break loose while riding. Going to give those numbers a try and see if I can get my base replaced too.

I sell the hotdogger. Basically does the same thing. It is the one in Burandts hot pocket video.

buddy had a hot dooger on the xp and we got the bright idea of putting in a little snow with the dogs for moisture, well lets just say it broke at teh base and the water got out and now his sled smells like a rolling hot dog.
