Happy cooking
Thanks, Mark! I'll do as Jason suggested and check the thermometer today.

Are you closing all the top vents? That seems to be what it'll take, but I'm leery of smothering the fire. I hear you on the bottom vents, I had mine down to 1 set up the holes on the vent and still had 289* solid, but I did have the top vent holes cracked a tiny bit.
