Hey

Brand new to the pellet smoker and just burnt in and seasoned last night. Thighs were awesome. Had a couple minor issues. The grill took about 45 min to reach 400 then towards end of cook it was over shooting temp by 17-35. I am using Weber comp blend pellets and it was about 45-50 when doing burn in. Just a little concerned if I do ribs or a brisket or worse a prime rib

Opening the lid may cause overshoot.

Only opened to add chicken then 20 min in to flip and lastly 20-25 min later when it was 35 over to pull them.

It’s not uncommon for the recteqs to overshoot temp on the first few cooks. It will settle in quickly, and maintain steady temps as long as you are using quality pellets and cleaning out the firebox every 4-6 cooks.
