Hello Everyone,
I have been using a brinkmann smoker for years and I'm have a big BBQ so I decided to get myself a 40" new Genaration electric smoker. I seasoned it last week but when I used it today I set it for 225 it reached 220 then the temperature started to drop to 209, then I bumped the temp to 250 and then it held at about 230 now should I have to keep the temperature higher? Then the last hour I put on my sauce and put the meat probe in and the ribs were at 180... just about done after 4 hours but once I put the probe in the temp seem to be steady... do I need the meat probe in the whole time?
