Temperature control

Hi just bought the smart smoker. My first smoke with ribs today but the temp keeps going up and down from 190 to 161 is this normal

Yes

Bradleys exhibit a fair amount of temp set point over run and under run.  A range of 20-30 degrees is normal.  This behavior is common to many electric resistance heaters, such as your home oven.

For most of what you smoke, these temp swings are not a problem.  There are some products (fish, cheese, and sausage) that benefit from the level of temp control you can get with a device like a PID, but most Bradley owners find the stock controls are just fine for their needs.
