I have found this to be the case also. With the digital controller - it starts short cycling somewhere around 40 -50 degrees from setpoint. I get more initial smoke on start up when the controller is on constant. This may not apply to the older models w/o digital controllers.

That said - I haven't found much need for preheating. I usually ignore "preheat instructions" in recipes I find.
