    Should I purchase a COS (Cheap Offset Smoker) to learn fire management?

    @sawhorseray COS stands for cheap offset smoker and I edited the title to reflect that. I also live in the SE valley so we're practically neighbors and have lived here my entire life so I completely understand the challenges of tending to a hot fire when it's 110 or more outside. I don't mind...

    Should I purchase a COS (Cheap Offset Smoker) to learn fire management?

    @Chasdev that's good feedback, thanks. Summer heat was definitely a consideration and I will keep my pellet smoker for cooking in summer months. Hoping to be able to dedicate more time to smoking meats and want to learn how to master an offset. I have some things I want to experiment with and...

    Masterbuilt Cold Smoker Doesn't work well when hot smoking

    The chips were fine and I was getting smoke but it was coming out of the cold smoker and also there was smoke coming out of the area where the 2 connect.  I'm going to create a mod to attached a tube between the 2 units and make it more airtight.  Maybe that will help.  Thanks.

    Masterbuilt Cold Smoker Doesn't work well when hot smoking

    Hi All, Looking for some advise on using my cold smoker with my MES 30" digital smoker.  I bought the cold smoker because I felt that I was not getting enough smoke flavor in my meats.  The cold smoker has great output, however, it seems that when the MES 30 gets hot the smoke from the cold...
