Thanks Wheelz
I think the only thermostats are the most recent ones and are expensive.
Also, Ive had the smoker seasoning for a day and I wanted to get 275*. I was able to set the L, M, H, knob so that the smoker cycles from 266 to 288 every 15 minutes and that is with the smoker empty. Im not sure an up to date thermostat would do much better. I am thrilled with this smoker.
