Usually anything coming from the kitchen is on a 20 amp. All of these things could affect the elements ability to get up to temp. I know people who love the Bradley smokers and love them but do complain of not getting to temp in cold weather. In Arizona that thing should rock and roll.
I had an entry level Bradley in Lees Summit Mo. I had no issues keeping the temp up even when there was snow on the ground.

I've never used an extension cord to run any of my smokers.
