I have a Landman vertical smoker and it runs too hot. I have tried opening, closing and blocking the vents....no help. I run about 255+ as low as I can go without opening the door. I have a ThermPro probe suspended from the hooks in the top of the smoker as my temperature source. Water pan is full as well as I use an aluminum drip pan on the 4th rack just to catch some grease and fill that with water as well. (Easier to throw away than clean the regular pan.) I looked for an extra, adjustable regulator but the one I found doesnt fit a regular hookup. I thought about closing the gas valve partially at the tank. I read about people plugging some of the holes....but wouldnt that just force the same amount of gas through the remaining holes? I havent had luck posting links but if you go to Lowes website and search on the item number, it will pop up. 1272860
EDIT**** After posting this, I seem to have gotten the temp to stay at 217 after opening the door to spray the meat. I will play around with the aluminum foil I covered the vents with to see if I can get it to 225 but still, if I smoke salmon, I read that should be done at 160-190, which I still am unable to achieve.
