Brinkmann Vertical Gas Smokers Temperature Control

by Jason

I'm having problems with my brinkmann vertical gas smokers temperature control, can anyone help?

I bought a new Brinkmann vertical gas smoker and followed instructions for the break in period.

The problem is that the temp went up to 400/425 degrees yet the damn thing was on low with my gas only cracked open. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it cooler say around 225 degrees? It doesn't have any shut able air vent.

Thank you for your time,
Jason

Jason,

I've never cooked on a Brinkmann gas smoker so I'll do two things:-

1. Contact Brinkmann and let's see if we can get you an answer
2. Throw it open to the floor - can anyone out there help?
