just bought a new sm025, and went to "season" the smoker, i set the temp at 225 but it went all the way up to 275??? why is this happening? i even backed down the temp to 200 but it still remained at 275????? could this be a bad thermostat? Let me just clarify one thing, the smoker was empty. i will be trying ribs sunday, i hope this problem goes away
