Given that photo, I don't think it's an air flow problem (Tony knows his stuff,so I'm just trying to help here ), but...
I would try the cap to see if it helps.
On my IQ4 (I have 2) I don't have that large a fluctuation, you will see an overshoot when you first start, it just happens.
Do this, turn it on, leave the door closes and at 2 hours what is the temp setting saying compare to what you set it at? How about hourly after that? NEVER open the door?
But on mine, if I leave the door closed, it stabilizes with +/- a few degrees until I open the door the next time.
The other issues have to do with mechanical (fans, controllers, auger) as well as pellets (what brand can have a little influence some just burn better than others, but the IQ usually compensates automatically)
Ok I see what your saying and i do have to agree with you i dont think its a air-flow problem as well, with that bieng said , i should have stated that the over my over-shoot has been always been about and 1+Hrs. in the cook.. and again i have this problem with Cookshack and Tragger Pellets, plus its not consistant its about every other cook its about half of the swing posted on other cooks witch is @ 224F the raise of temp is about 250+ or - and low is 210+ or -
Thanks for the reply, im glad you felt the same before i went out and purchased abunch of pipe and a cap, What Cap did you purchase for your unit??
Thanks Again,
