Aussie Ora Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I came across this today looks perfect single valve with adjustable control.

By completely capping one off you would eventually ruin that billow. You'd be better off with the single outlet version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a dual output one, but ganged them together with a tee connection into a single tube into the cold smoker. Just another way to skin that cat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted July 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Mine is rated at 2.1 lpm. At full open it's way to much smoke (from pellets) in my opinion anyway. About half output is probably the most I would ever run it at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that custom? I’ve been using wood chips and sometimes it works fantastic and other times it’s a frustration. I never ventured into the pellets as I believe Dennis mentioned they aren’t ideal. I’m pretty sure it was him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk It wasn't me, I believe that pellets are like briquettes and hot dogs.. if they are made with good fresh ingredients, they can/should be great! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 First, a big thank you to @ckreef for initiating this post. The pictures at the start of the post made it very easy for me to assemble my new hot/cold smoker this afternoon. It didn't take long to set up and the 250V air pump that Dennis' team sent with the smoker worked just fine in the UK with an adaptor on the plug. My 1lb bag of pellets was the right size - didn't quite fill the smoker to the top. I lit the pellets from the side using my MAPP torch and they stayed lit for the whole of my two hour cook. Things to note/ask: 1. Too much smoke? I was surprised by how much smoke got pumped out, right from the get go. I turned the pump right down. The goose breasts that I smoked are cooling. Will see if they ended up with the right level of smoke. 2. Too little smoke? When I closed the top vent down to a 1/16th turn to keep the temperature down, I noticed that the smoke from the smoker more or less stopped. Maybe I should have turned the pump up at that point - will experiment next time. 3. Don't need the pump? I took the pump off and found that the smoker continued to smoke when I opened up the KK vents for my next, higher temp cook. Guess the KK vacuum pulled the smoke through? 4. Hot hands? How do you get the smoker off when you are done? Do you have to undo the Allen key bolts? 5. Off switch? How do you turn the smoker off? I think I saw a post in which @MacKenzie but hers in a KK to cut off air supply. I wanted to do the same but see 4 above. Instead I just left the smoker attached to the KK with the vents on the latter closed. Seemed to work. Happy to have my smoker and looking forward to smoking all sorts of food with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 1 & 2 - just experiment with your setup for the types of smoking you want to do and gauge it from there, is my best advice. 3 - I've never tried it, so I have zero experience with using natural convection with the smoker. 4 - just use my regular Kevlar gloves to take it out and replace the plug. I usually dump out the pellets into an old terracotta planter and put back into the KK to snuff them out. 5 - see #4. Sounds like you're well on your way with this new toy! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Thanks @tony b. No. 4 is particularly helpful. I don't have a decent pair of gloves - the ones I have get warm too quick - will look out for some better ones. What I wasn't sure of was whether there is a secret, quick way of detaching the smoker from the KK. Do I need to undo the bolts and take them right out of the KK in order to get the smoker off?

MacKenzie Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 tekobo, try whatever idea you have and run it through when the smoker is cold, then you should be prepared. Mine doesn't bolt on so I can't give you any tips, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Thanks @MacKenzie. I am wondering if I need to drill a round hole at the bottom of each of the two vertical slots in the bracket to make it easy to slip the smoker off when done i.e. without needing to fully remove the bolts. Will see if others with similar configuration come up with a magic solution. If not, holes will be drilled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'm lost on the whole bolting thing?? My smoker just plugs into the guru port, easy-peasy! You must have one of the new dedicated smoker ports on your KK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I am not at home at the moment but I have stolen the below shot from @Adventureman82's post to illustrate my "problem". To fit my cold smoker I took out the bolt in the middle and slotted the tube in. The only problem is that the smoker was not very stable that way. So... I took out the two little bolts using the supplied Allen key and screwed the bracket that comes with the smoker onto the KK with these two bolts. Super stable but a pain to remove when you want to dismantle the smoker. I will take photos when I get home. I may be over complicating this so any help/observations gratefully received.
