newbie question?/concern

Hi, just got my Ironwood yesterday and after the initial setup and seasoning(which seemed to end fairly abruptly), made some chicken thighs at 300 with the Traeger pellets I ordered. after about 35 minutes the grill never made it to 300. it kept making it to 297ish and then fall back down to about 250ish and kept cycling up and down. Turned the heat up to 320 and the grill seemed to act normal going well above 320 and (cant remember exact temps now) and about an equal temp below 320. even 305 seems to act normal, but 300 was buggy? It seems to have the latest firmware, so I am not sure what was happening. Maybe the next time I turn it on it will be better? umm?

This is a me, too. New 650 and first cook after seasoning the grill. Grill is set for 185 and it is fluctuating between 175 and 195. About 6 hours into my first 12 hour brisket. Expectation was that it should be able to maintain temp between about a 5 degree window.
