    vertical gas smoker - too much smoke?

    vertical gas smoker - too much smoke?

    yeah there is a vent on the back of it so it does have one. I do need to put another vent in the bottom to get more air in and help me control my temps. at the moment I can just cracking the door at the bottom with a little splint to get some flow in there.

    Vertical Gas smoker help

    you're right I do have the smoke box right on top of the burner (almost) but that's because it's the only wAy I can get my temps low enough and still get smoke. If I run it in the rack it's too far away to get any smoke when I turn the flame right down so I can get the lower temps. I guess I...
