How come?

Is especially odd since there is already a thermostatically controlled propane smoker which works pretty well.

SmokeFire..... Kidding.. just a joke.

No kidding. Seems inconceivable this cannot be done. Would be a game changer. I would buy a new gasser immediately.

Here's a question I've been ruminating about. How come no one has come up with a thermostatically controlled gas grill? I think you would need a bypass mode where you can put it in manual and make it as hot as you want, but it seems like this could be done with a simple pilot light type of system, and would give you a lot of options.
