I have a loose fitting door, run the Maverick 732 and have pretty much the same experience as others have noted.
One thing that helps tremendously is when you set up the charcoal for the minion method. Don't light too many briquettes. Twelve or so should do. Monitor the temps. I always keep the top vent wide open. When the maverick reads 200, that's the time to shut down your vents some. I usually close all three two thirds of the way closed. The key is to catch the temps on the way up. You let the temps climb to 300 before you choke them down, you'll be fighting to get it settled in. I find it's much easier to start choking it on the way up.
