New (Used) Large BGE

I bought a Large BGE off craigslist last night.

It had the stand and the heat deflector with it. It had not been used much.

So I put a pork butt on it overnight. WE will see how that turns out.

I am not sure the lower vent is installed correctly. It looks to me like it can not be completely closed ever. In the fully closed position, there is room to get 1/4" of air by it. I was able to get the egg to smoke at 240-260 through the night. Should I trust the dome gauge? I did list night but I haven't opened the grill check anything yet. Are these reliable once calibrated?

Are there pictures of how the lower vent should look?
