Just curious, you're not trying to use a 230V 1500W element on 115V are you? With a well insulated box you should be able to get much higher temp than that. If that is not the case I would suspect door leakage.

I stopped doing all nighters. I would cook it the day before, pull the meat, refrigerate, then reheat the following day. Put it in a foil pan with some of the juices from cooking, cover with foil and warm in a 300° oven for about an hour or put it in a crock pot with some of the juices and it...

Marc, I have an MES40 and I really like it. Temp control is good, but not spot on. If set for 220 I get closer to 205 or 210, but it keeps that temp very closely. I never worried about it because I always tracked the temp with a known good digital. Once you get the temp you want it stays there...
