i wrote a few weeks ago about the mods I did on my COS. I finally cooked on it today. Just some baby backs for simplicity. I use lump, so I put some in the cooker area then put the deflector plate on to make it indirect. Got to temp well. Had a chimney of lump ready to go in the fire box for when it needed refueled. Used it after about 3 hours. Maintained temp well, no real severe smoke leaks. Overall I think it’s a success. This was a practice cook with just 2 slabs. I have an event in a couple weeks and will be doing 6 slabs. It’ll cook!

Great questions! Fantastic looking food on a COS. Lots of new members are asking questions about their COS' regarding smoke, methods, control etc. I noticed his smoke vent was about in the position that I used to put my COS' which turned out some of the best food I ever cooked. Great job Keiferr !Last edited by tbob4; October 28, 2018, 08:26 PM.

I'm doing my first smoke on a modified KitchenAid POS tomorrow. A Beef Eye of Round and a Pork Loin - both trimmed boneless full packers. I'll be putting the stuff on before breakfast - I sealed it up with aluminum tape and magnetic sheets, and Lava Lock. 2 of the 3 grates are isolated from radiated heat. I've got to put a cork gasket in the chimney first - I smoked some peppers in it a couple weeks ago and the chimney seat was a sieve.
Anyway - I'm looking forward to that first real meat cook. I know you were too!!

I think it's important to control the temp, and if you're controlling and maintaining the temp, it's gonna be good whether you're smoker is fancy or a COS. Great job from a fellow COSer!
