    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

When you get to say 225 or 230....mark the knob and you problems will be fixed. As far as smoke, Mine has 2 burners and I leave...

    Got my new smoke hollow smoker

If you have 2 burners, turn both on low, fill the water tray with gravel, and it will stay at 295. If you just have 1 burner, use the gravel and play with the temp...
