I have an Englander PG100 which is basically a Cookshack PG500 minus the stainless. Lately my smoker temps have been running about 40 degrees hotter than the controller set temp. This started all of a sudden and I'm wondering if I might be better off trying to invest in a PID controller like the pellet pro or similar? I normally try to do all my smoking around 225 degrees. Once the smoker temp gets up to around 245-250 it don't give me much smoke. Is there something else that can cause the spike in temps or is it probably going to be the controller and I should maybe replace it with a new PID?
