Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
I'm guessing that you have air getting in somewhere other than just your vents. Do you have the lid attached to the bottom of pot? Does it sit flush? Do you see any cracks where air can get in?
If there is air getting in somewhere another smoke or two we seal it up and then just use the vents...
