Temperature issue

[KCeynar]

I have a Pitboss

3 Series Digital

it doesn't seem to want to heat up to 350 degrees. The hottest I've been able to heat it to is around 260 degrees. I've read about having a shorter extension cord. Does that really make a difference? I know the temp probe is about 20 degrees different than the meat probe. I tested it by hanging the probe inside the smoker.

thanks!

It should get up to 350 no problem. The meat probes that come with it are garbage though they typically read way off. I would call Pit Boss support and let them know it will not get to 350
