does the temperature knob have several adjustments? the last smoker i had would only go to low medium and high.

It can be adjusted anywhere between low and high just like a gas stove. I have used it as low as 180°, as high as 350° and it can be set to any temp in between. I do recommend either a temp gauge that will take reading at the cooking area, or learn that when the door temp gauge reads 200° , the cooking area is closer to 250°. It's not the cheap temp gauge as much as it is the location.I replaced mine and still get the same results. Once I figured out the difference, it is easy to adjust for.

I have found I have better control of the temperature if I open the gas bottle about one-half to three-quarters of a turn, and then use the temperature control on the smoker to fine tune it. This is probably the best way with all brands of smokers.

Yes, the knob has the following settings; "Off", "Warm", "High", "Medium" and "Low". We also use a dual thermometer to verify the temp within the smoker and another on in the meat.

it happened to me the first time. I always have it at a very low temperature on the stove and it rises slowly. I so I haven't had the problem again. I know we have the same smoker. the last time I used it I actually put it in the oven at 200 degrees and let it smoke with the cover on too.

I'm sorry that I cannot give an absolute answer to your question because I have not ever needed to run mine at the highest temp since I use it mostly for fish at a lower setting. I did smoke some turkey legs though a few months ago and set the thermostat to 225 degrees. It had not trouble reaching that temp, and the thermostat was only a little above half way. I have found by using a separate thermometer though that it usually runs about 10 degrees hotter than the dial thermometer on the door says. Hope this helps. I just ordered a cold smoker adapter to keep the temp down more for cold smoking lox.

It has a dial at the bottom that goes from low to high. For low and slow smoking, the dial would need to be set at low or low-medium. We installed a thermometer on the lid and that seemed to serve the purpose. Not perfect, but got the job done.

My knob 'only' shows Fahrenheit (if that helps) I usually keep my temp at round 340 (which gives a nice golden crisp to everything)

I like mine a lot, however I had to learn how to use it. The digital thermostat is not always accurate. Mine was made in China and is inferior to the earlier models. All in all it is a good smoker.

There is a knob for setting the temperature it is not graduated by degrees but low to hot. Also a low to high fan speed I hope this is helpful mm

Only put the probe in the smoker. My 1st thermometer was off by 50 degrees! I had to exchange it. The 2nd was only off a few degrees.

The temperature settings are 6 buttons representing levels low&gt;mid&gt;high. Unfortunately there is not a number readout for temperature nor does it indicate what temperature each of the 6 levels are.

Their are two knobs that independently control each burner. Beware, they don't work well on the low setting. They don't adjust very well and for this reason the unit is frustrating.

How sensitive is the knob for temp control? I need a burner that I can 'dial in'. I have another brand and even the simplest adjustments change the flame/burner too high or too low.

I have had no issues with temp control. I have been able to go as low as 190-195 and up to 300. You can control (reduce) the air flow by closing the vents but you will decrease the amount of smoke you produce.

I think I've figured it out....I've had problems with mine staying only on high. When I first used it you could adjust it from high to low. Mine got screwed up by moving it once (I have it on a cart) and that's when I only had high afterwards. I jiggled stuff around like where the burner was at, or whatever would jiggle and now it's working fine. I got stuck on high only a couple more times and whatever I jiggled corrected it. Otherwise, I LOVE this grill....cooks so well, never had anything burn or flare up.

I have not experienced a problem with a low flame setting. However, the control is a bit touchy down at the lowest point.

No temp control, regulates at 225 degrees and you can adjust heat from 200 to 250 with vents or door ajar on the Brinkman Smoker

I Google whatever I'm smoking and use the temperature each sight says and adjust the temperature as i go. We've had ours for about 4 or 5 month's. The first month was rough but it's easier now. Always use temps for electric smokers.

Yes, there is a temperature knob. The settings are min, med, max. I have two of these units, and they both get sufficiently cold for beverages.
