My Cookshack 55 seems to cook too fast/high heat? For example chicken is overcooked at 3 hours at 200 degrees as are ribs. Larger cuts like butts and brisket seem to cook too quickly. I have put 3 new thermostats from Cookshack on it with no change. Cooking low and slow is not possible. Is this right or am I missing something???

I had a smoker do that when I replaced a thermostat. The only thing I found was the expansion tube on the end of the sensor was touching the wall of the smoker. Bent the clips holding it away from wall so it didn't touch any more and it hit the set temp.
After a couple of replacements, I'm sure you didn't kink the capillary tube either. They are very sensitive to kinks/bends.
Suspend a separate thermometer inside your smoker to verify the box temp while doing a test run.
If it is running real high after your test you will need a thermostat. That is a PA300 and here is a link. https://cookshack.com/collecti...09-sm050-sm055-pa300
