Hello,

I recently purchased a propane vertical smoker almost exclusively for making snack sticks (venison mostly, mixed with pork).

I’m struggling to have a consistent temp throughout the smoker. The top will be 15-25 degrees hotter. I hang them so it causes the top to get done well before the bottom. Which means I have to cut the bottoms off, put them on a rack, get the top half in an ice bath and cook the bottoms longer.

Any tips to get them finishing at the same time?
 
That is a problem with vertical smokers. I put a fan from a convection oven in mine. Problem solved and the smoke is evenly distributed rather than traveling up the back of the cabinet and out the vent.
