I understand the outdoor temp is huge in affecting how hot my masterbuilt electric smoker can get, its about 40 degrees outside currently. My question is, should that outdoor temp keep my smoker from getting above 200? I cooked some pork chops last night and nvr saw above 175 degrees on high. I got a pork shoulder in there right now, been in there over an hr on high and its at 150ish degrees.
Also when i first started using it i noticed a small super quick flame on the right side of the element, happened instantly and went away could this be the reason why its not heating totally? Like it maybe fried the right side of the element? It hasnt tripped my outlet once.
