Need help deciding on a new MES 30"

Just spit balling here but do you have the smoker set up where the sun can shine in the window ? I've read on here that this can throw off temps, coupled with the thought of clouds moving in front of the sun could possibly account for mad temp swings.

 Just thinking out loud.

I think you're talking about this (Below), but that shouldn't have much effect on the Temp Swings.

But like I said:

Other than the initial start-up, or after opening the door:

That swinging isn't really a fault of the smoker----The up swinging happens after the element shuts off.

And the Down Swinging happens after the element comes on.
