Budhm: I have an SMo45 that basically works the same as your SM025. I have experienced the same situation. Every time it has been because I had what ever was in the smoker up against the little tube that sticks out of the back of your smoker. This is actually part of the thermostat for the smoker. You have to be carful when loading the product into the smoker. You also need to clean this tube every once in awhile. Hope this helps.
Thanks, Mike,

I'll take a look at it...hadn't thought of that. This was the second time i've cooked so much at once (same issue), and figured it was just too much meat for the small smoker. The ribs were an absolute hit, but I didn't open the door until 5 1/4 hours into the cook...by that point, the oven hit 265 (I upped it to 275 to cover the curve, so to speak, since it spent so much time between 180 and 210)...I mopped and let it cook another 30 min (so almost a 6 hr cook with the oven temp set to 250, then 275 to be sure to let it ramp later)...
