Smokers are designed with vents on both the top and bottom of the smoker unit. Typically, the bottom vents are used to fan or fuel the flame inside. Adjusting the bottom vent either flames your fire or smolders it. The top vents are the ones that are typically used to control the heat inside the smoker. The more you open the vents, the more heat will escape out. The tighter you keep them closed, the more the heat will remain inside the smoking unit.

Controlling The Heat In Wood Smoker Grills?
The key to successfully cooking with wood smoker grills is to control the temperature inside of the grill at all times. The grill needs to stay hot enough to create smoke and to slowly cook the food.

Proper use of the vents, flues and dampers is what will control the oxygen and heat inside of the unit.
