Former Member

was actually a breeze to do, the one that came out was melted through the end. Almost like the controler never turned it off. Im doing a practice cook with it today and see how it does.
Still having some temp swngs, st at 224 and it goes up to 238 then back down, i keep hearing people say theirs stays within a couple degrees of their set temp? Myth ? lol

Doc.

Going up 14 degrees is "overshoot" and happens because it's throwing in pellets.

It usually happens after the door is opened and it's trying to stabilize the temp.

When I set a temp and don't open the door, it stays at temp. I Never noticed an overshoot because I haven't opened the door and I'm asleep.

During the days, and after I open the door, it happens, but it always stabilizes back to the set temp.

And in the BBQ life of the meat in the smoker, 14 degrees won't ever be noticed.

It also should get better the darker the walls get too. If the walls are shiney the heat does alot of reflection and will show a quik overshoot.
