You have to hold it down long enough for the safety thermocouple to heat up. If you hold it down for a slow count to ten and it still shuts off, then the thermocouple needs to be changed.

Solution #1 is the answer -- replace the regulator. The problem is that the regulator is stuck closed. You can either replace it, or pop the little metal cap on the top off and adjust it. (Use a large philips screwdriver). Do a full turn counter-clockwise, and then 3/4 of a turn clockwise.

soak some hickory/ oak / mesquite chips any one of these will do, soak them in water for a couple of hours then put them in the pan and turn it on this will burn out any coating on the metal and flavor the grill for smoking leave it on for a good 2-3 hrs on med then on high mke sure you keep the chips replenished
