Hey everyone,
I’m new here and just bought a used vertical charcoal smoker. I spent very little money on it and it’s by no means a top of the line smoker! It’s not exactly a super tight seal but what really worries me is there are no vents to control how much air gets in. My friend has a WSM and his has a vent at the top and the bottom but all mine has is a door to reach the water bath and the charcoal. Does anyone have any tips about how I can try and regulate heat? (Like should I keep the door slightly opened or fully closed?) Thanks guys, hoping this isn’t a simple answer and I’m not wasting your time! I’ve attached a photo as well!
