I am using a 9.3 cfm blower with a mypin TA7 controller. The fan is mounted to a cat bowl that I found at Walmart. All of that works great. I guess my problem is with the one vent completely open because of the fan, it is allowing too much air to flow without the fan even being energized. I need...

Okay, so everyone has been raving about ATC's so I built one. It works as advertised but my 18.5 won't keep the temps down when I am using it....What is the problem, I can control my WSM fine without the ATC. Is there some secret that I am not getting?

We have all struggled with temp control, no insults intended. Just try to be patient and only make adjustments after about 10-15 minutes. The cooker will need a little time to settle in. Good luck, it will be woth it in the end.

Kieth, I hate to say it, but more than likely you are causing the problem. Start using the minion method with an empty water pan except for a 12" ceramic pot bottom in the pan. Open all lower vents so they have a small sliver of light, about the width of a quarter. Open the top vent all the way...
