How Do I Control The Temperature On My Weber Smoker?
To control the temperature on your Weber smoker, start by filling the water pan with water and placing it on the bottom grate. Then add your choice of lit charcoal briquettes or wood chunks to the charcoal grate and adjust the vents on the bottom and top of the smoker to establish the desired temperature. The more air allowed in, the hotter the fire will burn. The less air, the cooler the fire will burn. Keep an eye on the thermometer and adjust the vents as needed to maintain the desired temperature. Also, try to resist the urge to peek into the smoker too frequently, as this will disrupt the temperature and cooking time.
