Another way you can get the heat down on this model is by using an extension cord. Make sure it's sufficient to handle the elements load though. A 25' cord will drop the temp a good bit.
 
I bought a Brinkmann electric smoker today and at grill level it heated up to 350°. Way too hot. I did some research to find a rheostat that can handle 1500 watts, so I can turn it down. Here is what I found and will buy Home Depot Skylink 1500 watt plug in dimmer. ($25.00).

I've got a crockpot that is really hot on low and was looking into a rheostat.  I'll check it out.
