I don't see any temperature control vents. How do you control the temp?

I don'e know about temp control...I've never had a problem when I use it as smoker with the water pan filled with water. The charcoal is at bottom with water pan between and works well. Using it as grill your charcoal pan is placed higher and you just watch as any other grill

There aren't any control vents. The top lid fits with some breathing room so that excess heat and smoke may exit the smoker. The only other exit is via a door on the front of the smoker. The smoker is really good at staying with an ideal temp range.

my husband is a professional chef..........there is no heat control.......what you do is use a meat thermometer to check the meat....for instance with pork, chicken, turkey etc..........smoke to about 180 degrees........if you want you can take it out before that, and finish cooking it in the oven. With beef, it depends on if you want it rare or well done.........starting at temperature of 130 and up......hoping this helps you.........we really love our brinkmann........it also does a great job smoking fish!

There are none. There are times I wish it did have temperature control. The only thing I can think of is open the side door & make sure you are on the top rack. There is also an adjustable temperature element on Amazon for $39.50. Universal Replacement Electric Smoker and Grill Heating Element with Adjustable Thermostat Controller Or type in adjustable heating element smokers on the Amazon search page.

No, you cannot control the temperature. There are no settings that allow you to control it. It does have a fan and has an even distribution of warm air that flows to all levels.

They changed the control panel and it's really weird... I fiddled around and if you hold temp and temp up buttons simultaneously, it can be moved up. However, I just tried it on mine and it's been a few months and it got a little wonky...very cold out . So be careful and if I get to the right sequence and remember I'll repost and update. Good luck !

Mine Crockpot has a dial with 3 settings, off, low and high. No temperature control on this model.

Turn heater on and let it run for a minute to produce heat. Then touch the set Button&gt; It will display the temp. &gt; the heater is set at and flash. Use the up and down buttons to set desired temp. Then touch the set button to lock it in. This heater does not constantly display temp, the panel will go off, but the heater is still on the auto setting. I do not like this heater as much as my higher end Comfort ZONE Heater, but for the price it does OK. There should be no codes, sometimes if you set the timer the 1hr looks like a code, if you want to use the timer, follow the instructions, they didn,t to to bad regarding that feature... Hope this Helped !

There is an on off switch . There is also a thermostat to regulate temp but I have not used it.

No it does not have that ability. There is no temperature control on the unit.

I believe there is a dial on the back of the unit that let's you adjust the cold temp. Please google the model and unit number and you will find a PDF manual. I won't be back in our office for a while

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

Unfortunately there is not way to control de temperature. Basically if you want to keep something frozen, fil the cooler with ice cubes.

This design looks really interesting, BUT how do you CONTROL the temperature with these units?While it says it's designed to heat a 10 x 12 room (120 square feet), it doesn't say how warm that would be. And since there is NO THERMOSTAT, only a manual ON/OFF switch, there doesn't seem to be a way to control the temperature. What happens if the room is smaller?I mean, some people are fine at 64-66 degrees. Some people like it warmer. And of course the temperature range outside would affect how warm it is inside. But all this unit offers is ON or OFF.Great idea, in theory, but in practice? How do you market a heater with no way to increase or decrease the temperature besides on or off???

There are no controls to regulate the temperature. The cooler keeps a temperature about 40 degrees. I've had no problems at all keeping things cold enough during several trips, as well as in hotel rooms using the AC adapter I purchased. Hope this helps!

Use the top vent to control temperature. I wouldn't full the charcoal more than 3/4 for smoking.

I have found that you can override the temp' very easily by pressing the arrow buttons either up or down and then pressing the bottom middle button. This sets on hold until you press the button back to schedule. The screen lights up and shows on hold or schedule. Hope this helps.

Not sure what you are asking, but if it is how to see the termperature and how to reset the temperature, I hope this helps. Using the remote control, to see the temperature, click the temp button. To raise or lower the temp, click temp, press + or - to desired temperature, then click the set button

I had a hard time in colder temps getting hthe unit to an acceptable cooking temperture. I added charcol brickets in the bottom underneath the element. When it gets colder than say 40, I also have found it beneficial to utilize an insulating blanket around the unit. These two proceedures enable me to control the temp to my satisfaction.
