Smoke Distribution...

So The new Thermometer works great and found out the one n the control panel is like 25 degrees low..So I can set it to about 200 when I start it and its about right. Then I Got the AMAZEN tray with pellets , got it going, set it initially lower rack far to left...NO SMOKE.. So i set it right above(about 4 inches) the element on the rt side, re lit the tray and set for 4 hours.. That seemed to work fine but I have a question... Now straight above the tray in the top is the vent. I had it open all the way but is all my smoke going right straiget up and out the vent? Is there a smoke deflector or sorts that will "steer" the smoke to the other parts of the smoker or am I worried about nothing?

You could add any type of deflector that is handy. Cast iron pan, pizza pan, tin foil, pizza stone, etc on lower rack. Put meat on the upper racks.
