Pequod Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 It's not really even loss it just collects down there. A small fan most definitely would be a great McGyver solution but not something I would sell.. bit rinky dinky.. LOL True! Now if it bolted onto that gas port on the other hand... lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 In the few times that I've used the CS, I've not had any problems with smoke layering in the lower part of the grill. I open the top vent about a full turn and see smoke seeping out, similar with the smoking pot. When I opened the grill doing the cashews, I got a nice face full of smoke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Exactly my experience, Tony, open the top vent to keep the draft going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yup, it's got to come out somewhere, and the only place for it to go is up and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the CS into the gas port after making an adapter plate and then put your cheeses or whatever you want to truly Cold Smoke on the bottom grill and then put a small hibachi affair on the very top grill so the heat left the KK and created the draft. What do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 You had me at "wild thought". Although...an adapter for that door isn't a half bad idea. If you could mount the cold smoker to that you could still use the guru, and not have to drill another hole in your KK for a cold smoker port. Call it the "utility port" instead of gas port. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomatic Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) @HalfSmoke Quote Guess I'm not seeing the advantage of moving the cold smoker closer to the food. It produces plenty of smoke. That smoke will fill the interior of the KK via diffusive processes -- good old convection and turbulent mixing. Moving the food closer to the source means you'll get a higher concentration in one spot and less outward from there. I'd rather rely on good ol' fashion turbulent mixing to get me a homogeneous distribution of smoke and put the food where I will. Agreed, and not to mention no need to drill into my KK.

Aussie Ora Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 The gas port sounds like a great idea provided you have easy access to it Outback Kamado Bar and Grill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Can kill 2 birds with 1 stone - new gas door with the wing nuts to secure it to stop leaks, and put a port in it for the CS or Guru with a plug like the front port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomatic Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 That's the best idea yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FotonDrv Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 A stainless plate and some SS Bolts, a corresponding tap, and a very large drill bit or two are in my future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
