Propane smoker question

I recently got a MasterBuilt propane smoker as a gift to myself. It turns out the temperature inside the smoker is 75-100 degrees higher than the setting I’m placing it on. The lowest the knob goes is 175.
Is there a way to reduce the interior temperature further? I tried filling up the water pan totally to see if that would help

Kill the air flow and have a lot of moisture in cans or foil pans is the only way I could figure out how to keep it down. During the colder months it’s also not as much of a problem since the metal is so thin.

You may need to make a heat sink by creating thermal mass to reduce temperature inaccuracies and fluctuations. This can be achieved by adding bricks, sand, steel etc to the cabinet. The heat sink should be between the heat source and cooking area.
The more mass you create, the more even the temperature will be. Water pans are useful but, water evaporates and fills the smoker with moisture, hindering bark development.
I had a similar issue with an electric MBS and filled the provided water pan with sand and water, then wrapped it in foil. Definitely kept direct heat from affecting the product.

Is the temperature delta present even if you don’t have wood in it?
