If you are using reflux mode you adjust the water flow to the upper column. In pot still mode the amount of remaining alcohol in the cooker determines the temperature. You can adjust the heat some but it mostly runs wide open. If you check the temp at the beginning of a run it will be xxx as the run progresses the temperature will rise.

Its a combination of heat input and coolant flow to the cross tubes.

I wasn't thinking propane , with the 1500 watt hotplate I run it wide open. With propane I'm sure wide open would be a lot more heat and would be turned down when you get up to temp."
