how to lower temp quickly in pellet grill smoker

[dlt21]

I set the temp to high to sear my meat on my pit boss 700 ..then wanted to go down to 225
Leaving the lid up helped some but took forever(20+minutes) for the temp to reduce

Any suggestions on how to reduce heat quicker?

What is the correct amount of time I should expect to wait for heat reduction?

Can you manually turn off the auger, or somehow divert the pellets from reaching the burn pot?

You could do a reverse sear and wait till meat is done smoking.

Turn you control down to smoke with lid open as well ank keep lid open during your sear. I usually give it a sear (reverse sear) after I am done the smoke/cook stage.
