I have a Brinkman gas cabinet. I fire it up, throw on some chips and put it on the lowest possible temp... but it goes and stays to about 300 to 320.

Any hints to get the temp cooler??????

I want to smoke about 220ish I think.

Some of the gas smokers have a secondary setting on the valve. Light it, turn it all the way up, then turn it down and hope it has the lower setting.
Sorry I can't help more than that.
