I converted a WSM to propane and I tried putting screws in holes to reduce btu's for low temps but it really didn't work. I started with every other hole and then every third hole, but it must've disrupted the gas flow because it would go out regularly.
And I had a mini daveomak experience...
I’m smoking this rack of pork this weekend using civilsmoker’s thread as a guide https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/big-bald-bbq-rubbed-rack-of-pork.292977/
This pork already has some salt in it, so I don’t want to over do it. Also, all I have is iodized sea salt (not sure if I could...

Racks of ribs get that way too but I hang them now.
I don’t think it was getting enough heat. The plate drilled with holes probably wasn’t letting enough air flow underneath and maybe didn’t hold enough charcoal.

Thx all, these were my best ribs ever, wish I made more.
I can thank the forum for helping me realize probing for tenderness is the key to knowing when to pull meat from heat.
A few years ago I would’ve pulled them off the smoker at post #5, and they would’ve been “good but not great”.

I’m using a half split of hickory and a half split of cherry. Direct sun on the smoker so about 240 is as low as I can get today.
I made a loop on one of the hooks so I...
