In a pellet smoker, it's all personal preference. It won't have any effect on the overall performance of the smoker. Unlike a charcoal or stick burner where the air leaks and air flow can affect the burn and temperature control.
One of the vertical smokers? ErL is a bad temp sensor most of the time. It has stopped reading the temp and goes Error Low (ErL). $15 of Amazon if you don’t want to wait on PitBoss support.
The cap height will help regulate temps in the cabinet. Down for high heat, up for low, but it won’t help with the ErL code. I had the same behavior in my series 4. Replaced the temp sensor and it was still going strong another 20 cooks later when I sold it.
ErL is most often the temp sensor. It’s a $15 part you can get on Amazon. I had a PB series 4 from Lowes and had seen that problem in my research. Immediately ordered a spare and had to use it on my 3rd cook. Then ordered another spare to keep on hand.
