Just fired up the new smoker. Set the temp at 225 for a ham.Temp runs higher than the setting. Does the thermostat have a tendancy to run higher than the selected temp?


Just an added note. When I first got my 055 (no electronic controller just a thermostat), I checked the temp inside the smoker on my first cook. When the smoker was set to 225, the temps ranged from 180 up to 265+. Yup, that's about 45 deg on either side so I was happy. Haven't checked the temps since.

And if the 'product' you produce in the smoker is what you want, that's all that counts. Doesn't matter what temps the smoker used to turn out the product.

Your 020 should do better with the electronics - - but I wouldn't worry about temp swings.
