Hi,
I'd move the diffuser against the baffle. Yes, a smaller fire would be helpful. Your cooking with the coals, not the fire. Feeding the firebox is keeping your coal bed consistent. The smoke off the wood burning into coals is a flavor profile. Control the airflow for a slow steady movement...
Does your smoker have a baffle plate? I struggled with temp swings on an earlier unit until I installed one.
Preheating your splits is great to reduce white smoke. Splits are the size of Subway sandwich bread.
Work on temp control with a pork butt. They are forgiving of temp swings and tasty...

I don’t get to cook as much as I'd like, so I don't hold...
I run a Lang offset. I've had much better luck controlling temps with the firebox dampers. Weather plays a part in your results. Time & experience helps with getting Temps no matter the weather. Wood condition also factors into Temps. [Moisture, size, species]
My suggestion is to run your...
Hi, I know I'm late in this discussion, but I wanted to add something.
I found a recipe book years back called 'Smoke and Spice'. Smoked fried chicken could be ramped up to turkey. Buttermilk brine, short smoke to infuse flavor, return to the buttermilk to drop the temp, batter and fry. The...
