Ok this actually looks like its working just fine after your cleaning. ie about 3-4 mins to initial fire (temp rise), the fan kicks on and 150 temp is hit in 2-3 mins, then the PID kicks in and slowing increase to 225 over about 20 minutes. The cold temp is the contributing "dips" in the climb when the auger or fan cycled added to the overall time the PID programing to get to 225.
As a side note, in winter, I like kicking the smoker on 30-40 mins prior to protein just to get nice clean smoke and to verify no burn out to bad pellets in the auger.
