I bought the vertical Propane smoker last year and had great success cooking with it. Unfortunately, I can no longer get the temp above 175-185 degrees. I've replaced the regulator hose, burner assembly and used compressed air to try to clean up all the orifices but to no avail. I am about to throw in the towel on this smoker which is a shame since I know it can get the job done.
I notice that the Hi/Low knob doesn't really make a difference in the size of the flame as it did before. When it worked, there was a crackling sound and the flame was noticeably larger when the knob was turned to Hi. Now there really isn't a difference in the size of the flame and there is no sound difference.
Just wondering if anyone has any other thoughts or had a similar issue with this or similar smoker.
FYI, I have swapped out the propane tank too to make sure this wasn't the issue, as well.
THanks for any insight you can provide.
