New Mod for my COS

[Dewesq55]

My COS is pretty good considering it's a COS. i have burned logs in it and am planning to do so again, starting tomorrow. But, being a COS, out it's highly sensitive to the vagaries of ambient conditions when it comes to holding/maintaining temps in the cooking chamber. In an effort to ameliorate that, I finally undertook a modification I had been planning to do ever since I bought it, which is to insulate the the cook chamber. I used the "double bubble" Reflectix. He's done pics.
Before modding.



I'ma little worried about the insulation at the firebox end not holding up to the heat, but I can always remove it. I only have about $25 in materials and a couple of hours of outdoor time in the nice fall weather, so I figure I've got nothing to lose if it doesn't work.

Looks nice, I wonder at what temperature it would melt. Hope it works out, if not, check this out.

The Reflectix is rated to 180°F but there are quite a few posts on the interwebs from folks who say that they have been using it successfully at regular smoking temps with no apparent degradation. Time will tell.
