After many tries I decided to test the new propane bottle I picked up when I bought the smoker. Come to find out the valve on it was faulty and therefore the problem. New bottle and I had the smoker at 300 degrees in about 20 minutes. Problem solved. Wasted a whole turkey and smelled the house...
The smoker is about three weeks old. I have a new temp gauge that is at rack level. The flame does go up and down when I turn the gas up and down on the smoker. I will try the gas purge that was suggested, but I can't think that will solve the problem.
I have read all the threads on here about getting the smoker hot and I can't get it above 200. I bought an internal temp gauge, installed a 3/8" rope gasket, and it still only gets to about 185. I end up cooking things in the oven to finish them up. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
