Whew;-) So from what you are saying it sounds like it is an air flow problem. I use a char griller Smoking Pro and I can get the SFB over 500 degrees ( an accident:-) and can pretty much take the main chamber to 400. Using the dampers, I start wide open t getup to temp, then adjust down to settle at 225 - 250 depending. You should be able to do the same. Are there any obstructions anywhere? I did notice that I have to move ash from the bottom of the charcoal tray in the SFB to keep from smothering it, but that was an easy fix.
