Specifically can I adjust one tube to get more or less?

One of my tubes is putting out reduced secondaries and I am wondering if that tube has some how gotten partially clogged and if the input is adjustable ?
 
Take it out and look through it. It is a five minute job. Take the screw out of the left side holder, slide the tube to the right and pull it out. Reverse to reinstall.

Ain't gonna be anything in it though. Ad no it isn't adjustable.
 
depending on how the fire is burning, one tube may burn differently than "normal"

Perhaps double check the orientation and size of the holes in each tube as compared to what they should be in the manual. I suppose it's possible that a wrong tube could have been installed from the factory, or in the wrong order, etc.

Is it your back tube?

My back tube only fires every other fire. That depends on how the wood is laid and how the doghouse air blows through it.
 
Tubes will not burn evenly, sometimes my front is really going while back is lazy, sometimes back is going while front is lazy, sometimes all going, sometimes all lazy. It sounds like you may be worrying about something that you need not to worry about.
