Cannot get heat to drop


 
First, Welcome to the forum Rich.
Second, you have to:
1) put some gasket on lid basement and on the door
2) start your fire with a very few lit briqs.
3) control your T with the top vent too. Not only with the lower vents.
 
I was having the same issue with my 22", Saturday I installed latches to secure the body to the bottom section and put a gasket on the door. Sunday I cooked ribs; when done I closed all vents and went to lunch. 1 1/2 hours later the WSM was cold. Temp control was much easier as well.
