Size matters. Yes, there was. It came to mind as I wrote this, but I can't remember the name of the damned cigarettes. I think "100" was a part of it.
CeramicChef Posted June 9, 2016 Report Posted June 9, 2016 Wasn't it Chesterfield? That what keeps running through my old brain ... The tag line was set to the tune of La Bamba and was in response to Benson & Hedges 100s. At least that's what I remember.
Mekongdaze Posted June 13, 2016 Report Posted June 13, 2016 This will be a game changer - a whole new universe of smoking options opens up.
CeramicChef Posted June 13, 2016 Report Posted June 13, 2016 @Mekongdaze - I see this is your first post … Welcome to KK and welcome to The Obsession!
jclarkhpa Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 If it's still available, I'd like to put in an order too.
primeats Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 As if I needed a new gadget for my KK! When these are ready, so am I! I'll be in contact soon as well for a pallet of charcoal!
KevinD Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 I would be very interested in this as well - thanks!

I too can hear the jingle " a silly millimeter longer, 101's" - was that Virginia Slims? I'm not a smoker and isn't memory funny thing? I can't remember what I did a few days, ago but I can remember a stupid commercial from decades ago – heavy sigh… 2
CeramicChef Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 @KevinD - it was indeed a Virginia Slims tag line.

FotonDrv Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 OK, my Cold Smoker arrived today but it also arrived without any instructions. I get it that the pump tube attachment screws into the side of the CS and that the large tube pushes into the CS and rotates in to lock in place. I also understand that there is the fatter sleeve that is affixed to the large smoke pipe to bush it out for the fit into the Guru Port. What fails me is the set screw in that fat sleeve. The way it arrived from the factory the screw allows the fat bushing to go into the Guru Port only 1/4" before hitting that screw head. I must assume that this sleeve was put onto the smoke tube backwards, am I correct? Also the Bushing's set screw engaged one of two holes in that smoke pipe, is this what is supposed to happen? If I reverse the Bushing and engage one of the two holes in the Smoke Tube then the end of the Bushing is flush with the Smoke Tube which appears correct to me. Have I gotten the procedure correct with the set screw keeping the Bushing from going to far into the Guru Port?

It locks against the tube. The sleeve butts up against the flange on the cold smoker. There's a lot of tube protruding. Make sure that air tube opening is facing down within the larger cold-smoker tube. Mine arrived slightly mis-assembled as well. Edited January 10, 2017 by HalfSmoke 1

FotonDrv Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Thanks Jeff, that is very self explanatory. I understand that the Bushing wedges itself in the Guru Port and it appears to do so very snugly but has anyone come up with a way to keep the Smoking Wood container (tall cylinder with hot coals in it) from rotating on the Smoke Tube? I saw one Post using strapping material but my brain is working on using SS Band Clamps, like for hoses, through the bolt holes/slots and then around the body of the Cylinder. Does that sound feasible?
Pequod Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) My smoke tube is gunked up enough that it doesn't want to separate from the main cylinder easily as it is. The flange is coupled to the main cylinder in such a way that they are a solid unit, so wrapping something through the slots and around the cylinder wouldn't do anything. The simplest answer might be something like a rubber gasket that you could wedge between the flange and the sleeve. Push the sleeve up tight and lock it down. The gasket should act like a lock washer. Edited January 10, 2017 by HalfSmoke 1
cschaaf Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 My controller didn't have an adapter that fit the guru port on the KK, so I went and got a pipe nipple. That was slightly too small and would pop out of the KK. I gave it a few wraps of paper and now it fits snug. Hey, you asked for a solution, you didn't ask for an elegant one. 1
FotonDrv Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Jeff, do you leave the CS in place when doing other cooking on the KK?? Maybe plug the hole in the CS? AND, did you use a special rubber "O" ring for that Mounting Flange to Bushing friction fit?
