My Amerique usually has a temperature fluctuation of 20-25 degrees. However last week I was cooking 2 butts and had to turn the unit off, then right back on. To my suprise the temperature went rightto the setting of 225, and did not vary more than 2 degrees (224-227) for the next 12 hours. This was verified on the Maverick ET-73 as well.
Later, I had to turn the unit off and on again. The usual variation of 20-25 degrees returned. The ability of the unit to maintain a stable temperature makes me think there must be a design flaw in the control unit. I know that the unit is capable of maintaining a stable temperature, but it usually does not do that.
Has anyone else seen a similar situation?
