Temp control

OK, I am having a very hard time getting the temp in my 14.5 below 260, as measured with a digital thermometer via the grommet. I loaded a lot of lit charcoals over an equal amount of unlit ones. Could I have used too many? I had all vents closed except the top and the temp would not go down. Any suggestions?
 
Yes, too many lit.

I light 12-14 for an 18" 3/4 full briquette ring. For a 14" I'd suggest maybe 8-10 max lit ones.
