New Vertical smoker and meat location questions...

Quite a number of people with Vertical propane smokers run into this.  Look in the propane smoker section for what is known as the needle valve mod.

In the mean time, you can probably control the heat by using the smoker control between the high and off settings.  It will be a little touchy, but it can be done.  Because you are turning the burner down so low, you will probably need a very good wind screen to prevent the flame from being blown out by the wind.
