When the temperatures drop below 40ºF all outdoor cooking devices run cooler. I've seen it with my gas a charcoal grills and have to assume the same would occur with an electric smoker. The appliances aren't insulated and cool off quickly. I'd bet an electric smoker has limited ability to maintain heat. Does the instruction manual address this?
 
Does anyone with an Electric Smoker (mines a Brickmann) have problems when outside temps are 40 or below?

Yes, once the temps got close to freezing it just wouldn't maintain any temp over 200. I had one of these.

This here smoker has no problems holding temp in frigid weather. I did a pretty sizable cook during the month of January 2014. Brisket and Pastrami was on the menu as well.
