Have you tried a different burner?
I have been down the tinkering path.

This guy is very helpful on the phone and can suggest the right setup for the temps you are trying to get to.

Not sure on the propane side. I hear good things about the Smokein-It, but not laid eyes on one.

I was going to add the needle valve, in fact I bought one and have it in my drawer, but after learning the smoker I can maintain a temp from about 150 - 300 all day with about a plus/minus 10 degree variance. I do need to monitor when I first put in a lot of meat because it does steadily rise as the meat comes to temp, but it is usually a minor adjustment every hour or so for the first couple hours. In the summer in the sun on low end it would probably be hard to hold below 200, but up here in Wisconsin winter 150-160 is easy. I also keep the top damper wide open, control the heat with the gas valve and the smoke with the bottom dampers. There is plenty of air flow from the bottom for the burners and I've noticed the side dampers do virtually nothing to control temps, but they do control the air flow to the chip pan and therefore the smoke quality.
It does run pretty steady at 250 with minimal effort but I need it to be 150 or less for my needs. Probably should have went with an electric smoker but wanted a gas one to use in case we get hit with any hurricanes.Stumps Baby
