brinkmann charcoal smoker temp too low

by Dale
(Rochester, MN)

I have a Brinkmann vertical smoker and the thermometer never reads above 210-220 degrees. I bought a thermometer and hung it inside to see if my built in thermometer was broken. It too registered the same temperature. Is this due to too much/ little air coming into the smoker? I use one chimney starter full of hot coals and then add coals each hour. Any suggestions?

I have a brinkman charcoal smoker. I drilled a
1 1/2" hole in the top dome with a sliding cover.
helped my temps a lot.
