The only change I do on my 150 was to open the door periodically during the cook. I preferred more bark and letting some of the moisture out allowed me to get the texture I wanted.
you don't have to, it's just another option.
Also, if you need more Smoke Ring, add a chunk or two of charcoal (do a search on Smoke Ring and you'll see why)
I understand what you are saying, but try and keep my urge to open the door under control I do enough of that as it is! I am aware of the charcoal "trick" and sometimes do that.
