The element was bad. That's why it didn't over heat too much Saturday. I replaced it and now I have to set the temp at about 195 to keep it at 250. Otherwise it goes over 300.

I used a long thermometer that I use for frying turkey's stuck inside the vent this time. I was able to keep the temp right around 250 where I wanted it.
I think I've narrowed the problem to the heating element. I'll replace that next. Kind of a shame since I've only had this thing since...
I was able to fight with it and ended up with an awesome brisket. I'm not giving up on this thing yet. I'll figure out some way to make it work right. I just need to find what detects the internal temp. That has to be the problem.

I bought an MES 40" and it's total junk.
Once it gets to the set temperature is starts falling and once the element comes back on it never shuts off. The display temperature shows below the set temp and just keeps falling.
Contacted them and got a replacement control unit. No change...
