Well unfortunately not after the initial freak-show  :-)
I`m still working on the backyard and limited to extension cords and such due to the garage distance from the house.
I hope to be fully functional in maybe 10 days 2 weeks most.....but could be longer as I have seriously underestimated the times some things take....
But I`ll do another PP this Friday just to ease my mind  ;)

Ah!!! Extension cords might be the root of your issue.  There's been significant anecdotal responses from people who have noticed power fluctuations that affect the thermostat ... in fact, many manufacturers recommend not using them, even if it's a short run industrial-grade extension cord.

Here's a pretty succinct article referencing the issue of using extension cords with this type of application:  http://www.amazingribs.com/BBQ_buyers_guide/smokers/electric_smokers.html

Nice!  Now THAT'S a "weight reduction" plan I could really get excited about!  I think you may be on to something, Blue!
