Cookmaster Propane Smoker

[Jmnhunter]

got a smoker a couple of weeks ago and tried it a couple of times, my main trouble is getting a consistent temp, specifically at 200; either too hot or too low, any suggestions with this smoker and achieving the right temp?

no one uses a propane smoker?

Nope....same problem you are having.Getting a consistant temp.And getting a low temp to make sausage.

My propane smoker runs at around 200 on low. To drop the temps I turn the propane tank almost off and I can drop the temp down if needed.

I also use the valve on the tank as well as the temp control on my burner to manage the temp. As the meat in the smoker heats up, the temp will rise. You also might want to add a water pan with water (if you dont have one). I have found that that the water pan helps to maintain a more consistent temp. I try to make small adjustments, so I am not constantly chasing the temp I want.

It just takes running it a few times, to "learn" your smoker.
