Easter abts!

Struggling a bit to get it under 300 degrees without it putting out the coals. Any advise? Also, the thermometer on mine is off approx 50 degrees.

Smoked one this past weekend and it was amazing. Done this by using a pastrami rub in the past but it made it to salty. used nothing this time assuming the brine added enough flavor. cooked to 195 then foiled it with a boullion/cider vinegar base.
