Hey TJ welcome I had to laugh at your last post I had the same propane smoker, on my last smoke with it I got so frustrated I bent my large cookie sheet in half, the thing would not keep a decent temp, way to hot, open the vent,way to cool, then it got windy blew out the flame...enough, I marched in the house bent cookie sheet in hand and ordered my #2, best decision I have made in a long time, get ready for some lazy Q the way it should be!!!
