Reply to "Help with reaching cook temp"

When i referred to digital thermometer I’m referring to the built in gauge on the control panel. The problem may have been the flue was too low. I adjusted it again to about 1/2 way up and get the following results.

Test 400 Degrees

LHT 30
HHT 150
Adjusted Flue 1/2 way
Start temp 118 degrees

It seems to be operating as expected with the flue opened up. I’m going to try the same at low temps.
What LHT and HHT would you recommend to lower the temp difference between high and low?
