Joe, Are you using the thermometer that is on the pit or are you using an oven thermometer or remote thermometer in the pit? The thermometer that is on my pit has to read between 350* and 450*F for me to get a 225* temperature at my cooking grates. I use a remote thermometer so that I can crash out in my truck and sleep when doing really long cooks on my Lang and still know what my cooker is doing.
Here is a close-up of the flashing that I placed inside my stack to lower the stack closer to teh food grates. If you get it too far down I found that it didn't work quiet the way I wanted it to. About an inch to inch and a half works best for me. Like I have said before, a lot of playing around a testing. But that is also a part of the fun. It's kind of like back when I hotrodded car.
