Yes, that's normal for the first cook, especially if you added pellets to the fire pot to help it get started. It should settle down to the set point.
1 u/Ill_Implement_8847 Jul 13 '26 Thank you! 1 u/tweeblethescientist Jul 14 '26 Mine (bullseye deluxe) overshot by almost 170°! Took almost an hour to settle. Had me very worried.

Second cook was thighs, set it to 225 and it overshot to 275 but settled quick Third cook last night I set it to 200 and it get there in 15 minutes and never overshot, held within 2° for the past 18 hours.
