I'm in the middle of a smoke and my smoker will not go past 200 degrees all of a sudden it doesn't mes 40 electric and I think the controller may be crapping out because it reads that the smoker is at 275 however my ready check reads it is at 198.

Do you have a pan or something under the meat that's causing more heat to flow past the therm and cycle the unit early ?
Well I ended up pulling the controller and jumping the heating element so now it is on full blast and up to 260 so I will have to keep and eye on it.
