Brian, I would buy a grill wok and use it. You will get a better burn and less smoldering with ash that builds up. Make sure you use a good brand of charcoal like Kingsford or a good lump coal. Lump will burn hotter and if you use wood chunks that are not soaked in water you can keep the temp up. The more dry wood, the hotter. If after all of that your temp isn't up, substitute the water pan for a ceramic pizza stone, but be careful to watch your heat or you will Cook too hot.

Thanks! I will say more wood equals more temp. However you may warp your grill wok. They are cheap to replace though.
looking good
I bought this same smoker had to cut holes in the charcoal pan. And even still has a slow start. Any suggestions. Using lump charcoal
300 degrees is to high
