First KK Low n Slow

Recommended Posts

Get a small (2 qt) cast iron dutch oven. You only need 3 small holes (1/8" dia) in the bottom. If the lid is a bit loose, after you put in your wood (chunks are best, but chips work, too), seal up the lid with a bit of flour and water paste. I mix it up in a plastic sandwich bag, then cut off a corner and pipe it onto the lid. The key here is that it needs to be airtight. Set it right on top of the lit coals. Once it gets up to temp, it will produce a nice clean smoke for hours. And the coolest part is, when the cook is over and cooled down, you open the lid to find several pieces of charcoal - Magic!

Great looking brisket. 

Thinking out loud here ...... For low-n-slow once at temp close your bottom vent entirely and use the KK cold smoker as you're only incoming air source. No air pump just regulate the air flow going into the cold smoker with a valve.  Anyway one day I'll order one and run some experiments.

@ckreef-That's good out loud thinking and along the lines of my thoughts as well. The "cold" smoker is really an external smoke generator with controllable flow and smoke intensity. If you dial that in first, then anything else you do with the lower vents would be to dial in temp on top of the base temp from the cold smoker. I'm really looking forward to playing around with the cold smoker. Just waiting on the pump.
