How to adjust temp on a gas grill?

[rfgrillmaster]

I am smoking salmon on my Weber gas grill using the A-MAZE-N-PELLET-SMOKER. My problem is I want to smoke the salmon at 150°-175° but I can't get my grill lower than 200°. I've got the front controller on low and the back burner shut off. I raised the lid by 2" but I still get 200°.

Any insight would be appreciated.

How are you measuring temp?

I have a digital thermometer.

I don't know if your going to get a grill that low, if nothing else works, you could make a deflector out of several layers of aluminum foil, to channel the heat towards he gap at the front of the grill. If you search "makeshift smoker" I did it once with a charcoal grill with much success.

Thanks, I'll give it a try this weekend.
