Take a breath!
The 270 is designed to run as a direct or inverted smoker. There are two exhausts at the top of the unit right next to each other. The one in front vents from the top of the cook chamber. The back one is connected to a chimney that vents from the bottom of the cook chamber. You choose which exhaust to close with the removable chimney cap. Cover the front exhaust and you’ve got an inverted smoker. Cover the back and it’s direct. The convection properties work best in the inverted smoker mode. Pretty ingenious design.
270 is based in Virginia. Not sure how far that is from where you live in WV, but you might be able to swing down and pick one up. If I hadn’t bought mine used, I was going to drive to the factory and just buy a new one.
