Model 025 Temp probe

I just received my Smokette Model 025 a couple weeks ago. My first smoke seemed to take too long. I did have an issue with our sweltering temperatures causing the control unit to overheat and display "hot" until I was able to get it in the shade and cooled down so I figured that added a bit of time to the process but the 8# boston butt still took 22 hrs @ 225*. I ended up pulling it out a 190* and it was excellent.

Anyway, I decided to do a test to check the smoker internal temperature and the temp probe using a second Polder probe. There were a couple revelations. The smoker temp reading seemed to be reading higher than the Polder and the built in temp probe didn't give me a reading above 199. It just read "HI" when it hit 200. I have read all over the forums that I should look for boston butt to hit 190 to 205 before pulling them.

Should the SM025 temp probe stop reading at 199?

Thanks
