I've had the electric smoker for 3-4 years now with no problems. Today I was smoking a pork loin (planning to anyway) for tomorrow, and prior to putting the meat on I started the smoker at max 275 for an hour. After the hour I dropped the temp to 200 added the meat, water tray and wood chips. The smoker hit 279 earlier but now it doesn't appear to be heating up. I turned it off and reset the temp and time but it still is not heating up. Did I do something wrong by or did it just die?

225 is the lowest mine smokes at now.

Get the A-maze-en tube for temps below 225°.

Mine doesnt go lower than 225 either. You should be using another thermometer to monitor the temps in the smoker and your meat then the built in ones. My MES is commonly off by 15 degrees from the set temp and the built in meat probe died. What are you smoking at 200 btw?
