Review: I'm new to smoking food. I have used my Weber propane grill to smoke a little bit, but I wanted a "real" smoker. I decided to go with propane since it seemed like there would be less work to maintain the temperature and smoke. Assembly was very easy and instructions were clear and easy to follow. I did go out and buy a set of four locking casters to install on the bottom of the legs. I did have to drill holes through the bottom of the feet to attach the casters. Smoker is heavy, so having locking wheels is a must since I will store this in my shed when not in use. Before my first use, I decided I should season the smoker. I was surprised that the manufacturer did not have any mention in the manual about seasoning the smoker. I found a lot of online recommendations for doing this and figured it would be worth it, plus I could get use to the temperature adjustments without risking any food... I wiped down the interior of the smoker with a lite coat of canola oil and filled the wood tray with dry apple would chips. I started the burner (first click on the igniter!) and let the smoker go on high for about two hours. It took about 15 min for the wood chips to start smoking. I also noticed quite a bit of smoke coming out of the edges on the main door, so I ordered some grill gasket tape, which I will install next week. The next day I smoked a pork shoulder for over 12 hours and some sausage links for about two hours. Both turned out perfect. I'll never have crock-pot pulled pork again.... The temperature was easy to maintain and having the separate door to add additional wood chips definitely helped maintain the temperature. I would highly recommend this smoker to any beginner. It will be interesting to see if the door gasket will help, not completely sure it's 100% necessary, but others have recommended it so we will see. One other thing, which is no surprise, the thermometer on the door was not very accurate. I used the NutriChef (PWIRBBQ80) (https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B076B36HF9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Bluetooth thermometer and monitored the temperature of the pork shoulder and the smoke chamber. Definitely a must have. Now I cant wait to use this more. Beef ribs are next! **Updated: Sept 24th 2020** After one full summer of smoking, I can honestly say that I love the food I have made with this smoker (and so does my neighbor). I have burned through at least a dozen propane tanks. I've smoked everything from salmon, beef, pork, chicken, vegetables, including eggplant for baba ghanoush, and even made my own chipotles and smoked cayenne peppers, which were awesome is my smoked cast-iron baked beans... My Bluetooth thermometer also held up all season. The smoker has held up well, there's a small brisket flat on there now. There is one burn spot on the outside rear of the smoker where the burner is, but has not hurt the integrity of the smoker box. I keep the smoker covered when not in use. The door gasket tape was a must and has definitely helped contain the smoke in the smoker. I used the "FireBlack Hi Temp BBQ Smoker Gasket Self Stick 15 ft High Heat 1/2 x 1/8 Black", from desertcart, which fit both doors perfectly. I think this is a pretty standard upgrade for any smoker, based on all the reviews I've read. I agree with a lot of the reviews about the poorly designed wood/water tray. I do not put water in the water/wood chip tray, I use disposable aluminum trays for the water on the bottom shelf and overload the wood chip tray with one or two larger wood chunks and a bunch of presoaked wood chips. I have not had any problems with not having enough smoke. I have not wanted for more shelves, but do think I will be upgrading to a larger smoker at some point, so I can fit full slabs of ribs and full briskets (just need the wife's permission). The shelves are a little too small for this (14 x 14 inches), so ribs have to be cut in half and it only fits smaller cuts of brisket. But as an intro to smoking, this was a huge success. I also built a cedar cabinet with a cement countertop to go with this smoker, that provides much needed counter space and storage for the propane tank, wood chips, and trays (picture attached). If you are thinking of trying out a smoker, as a beginner, I think this smoker is a good bet. It made me a smoking addict.
Review: The perfect rack system for any smoker/BBQ. I use this in my Treager Pro 780, but I believe this would also fit the smaller units as well (check measurements to be sure). It's perfect in just about every way, adding 3 extra racks to my smoker. Perfect for Beef Jerky, Chicken Wings, Ribs, or anything else that you're planning to smoke in bulk. I did have to remove the default top rack out of my smoker for this to fit, but the trade off is still a plus with this unit. My only gripe, and the reason it gets 4/5 stars instead of 5, is simply that this thing is a royal PAIN!!! to wash... the last time I made jerky, I gave up trying to wash it, and just took it outside with the pressure washer. Made light work cleaning this (if you have a pressure washer). Otherwise, it's too big to fit in our dishwasher, too big to fit in our sink, washing it makes a mess and is very difficult. Pressure washer is the way to go. It also folds up, and I store it in the box it was shipped in which fits it perfectly. It's quite compact when folded up only being about 1.5" thick. Easy to store. Otherwise, 10:10 recommend, if you accept the challenges of having to clean this unit afterwards.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will a propane tank last with this one?**
A: I came up with a crude way to estimate how much fuel I have used thus far.  Propane weighs about 4.24 pounds per gallon.  The tank weight is about 17 pounds.  I have run my new smoker for about 12 hours so far and have used about 4 pounds, and have about 9 pounds remaining, so that rounds out to be about .33 pounds per hour, and my smoker was set at the lowest flame setting.  So I have about 27 hours remaining in the tank.A word of caution about tank exchanges!  I had to exchange tanks because mine was too old, so I exchanged 2 tanks.  Upon weighing each, I found that there was only 13 pounds of fuel in each tank.  So, keep that in mind if you use the exchange program.  When you refill a tank, you should end up with about 20 pounds of fuel +/-, so it is pretty obvious that while the exchange program is often more convenient than going to a refill station, you will get more fuel, and longer use out of a tank that you have had refilled at a fill station.I used a bathroom scale, so my results are not perfect, but should give you an idea of what to expect.

**Q: Can the racks be removed and meats hung? Does it have a hanging ring in top?**
A: The racks can be moved and removed. I've not seen any hanging hooks or rings on which hooks might be hanged.

**Q: The extra tray for water where do you put it on the lower rack or where the other tray is first time doing this?**
A: I put it on the lowest rack accessible from the upper door.

**Q: The lowest temp I got with knob set at low, with no water and empty in the smoking chamber is 235 degrees.  Without water, what temps did you get?**
A: I'm seeing lots of different results on here which is interesting. On my COS-244 when I first put it together I noticed the gaps on the door so I added the wool heat gasket to the door. Running a test without water on the lowest setting I was getting a steady 280 deg. F. That worried me a bit because that is really high. I bought a small baby back for a test. This time I filled the large tray with cold water and put one 4 inch square chunk of apple wood in the tray. It ran a steady 240 deg. F on lowest gas flame. I will keep playing around and update if I learn anything else.

*by D***K on 20 January 2020*

Works great! I was initially going to get the Weber Smokey Mountain but decided I would get this to try as it would make smoking easier and less time consuming. I usually smoke something every weekend and it has been great. I've done whole chickens and turkey, roasts, and drumsticks. So far everything has turned out great. My only issue is that it is hard to keep a consistent temp as it will eventually get warmer as you cook but with a bit of attention it's easy to correct. Cleanup and setup much easier than charcoal and flavor is awesome.
