Hot Dang!!! My Smokette arrived yesterday and I've been seasoning it all night. I have a question. How tight should the thermostat keep the temperature. I set mine for 200�F like the directions said and I've measured it with the Polder-type at mid-rack and found it to range from 202�F to 246�F. I've double-checked it against a mercury thermometer from my lab, it's reading true.

Is this normal? If so, doesn't it screw things up? I can hold a steadier temperature than that on my old offset. Just wondering if this is to be expected?

My Goodness Dchem.... No offense intended, but if you truly do have the lack of patience your posts are showing, 'Que is not for you.

I don't think there are any of us that have not had less than desireable results but I'll tell you what, you WILL get the help and advice you need here. I have been smoking meats for many years with great results. I now make the best I have ever done since the first of the year with my CS.
