How much variation does the thermostat have?
The temperature will swing 45 F degrees either way from the set point. This is caused by the heat still being produced by the wood box after the thermostat turns the heating element off. This is very normal in any electric smoker. We are smoking/cooking at a low temperature and it is the average between the high and low that we look at.
