1. A method of manufacturing an aerosol provision apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the method comprising:
providing a heater arrangement for heating smokable material contained in use within the apparatus, the heater arrangement comprising at least a first heating zone and a second heating zone for heating different portions of the smokable material;
providing a temperature sensor for each of the first and second heating zones; and
positioning each temperature sensor in its associated heating zone at a respective position selected so that if the heating arrangement were to heat the first and second heating zones so that the temperature sensors measure the same pre-selected target temperature, a temperature gradient across the length of the heating zones between the temperature sensors would be optimized as being substantially flat.
