I've got a good video on that too, good luck, and keep it low and slow.

Hi, so are you putting your tube directly over the flame? I have a 5 burner gas grill and have had mixed results, obviously when I get better smoke is when I place the tube directly on top of the flame but that is exactly what they tell you not to do, as it will burn faster. When I put it on the side where no burners are on, I've had it last up to 5 hours or more but it goes out at least twice, sometimes 3 times in the process, it's a pain in the ass. My best performance has been using a raised rack and putting the tubes (I use 2) directly under the meat, even if it drips over them, I've felt this is the best way for the meat to actually get some smoke but logically this would mean the tubes are in the indirect side. So you recommend putting it on top of the flame?

I think I have a video on the shelf. I did attach it to the existing metal shelf.

Yes I lay mine down in the pit for smoke flavor

High

I mostly just eat my own LOL Iron Star is pretty good and Clark Crew BBQ

I would just use the one.

The KC Combo is an amazing machine, however it does not put out as much smoke as other smokers on the market, I really like a heavier smoke flavor on my meat that is why I use the tubes. Although it does on its own produce enough smoke to leave a smoke ring. The best way to generate more smoke from the machine is to run at lower temps like 225 or less, possibly 250. If I had to buy over again I would still go with the KC Combo because of the versatility of the entire machine, griddle, char-broiler, grill, smoker Etc. I hop this helps, thanks for the comments.

Either one works just fine; I was just trying different shapes. However, the oval one seems to produce more smoke FYI

It is possible you might ensure that you are letting the tube burn pretty good for about 3-5 mins if you are not already. I am not sure as I do not use a gas grill I am using an electric pellet smoker.

I do let the tube burn for 10 minutes. It’s smoking like crazy. I lay it down on the cold side of the grill and control the grill temperature with the remaining 2 burners. I then close the lid and in 8-10 minutes the smoke is down by about 80%. Then I leave the lid open and in about 5 minutes I’ve got lots of smoke. It seems like closing the lid starves the tube of oxygen.

Let the tube be parallel to the lid right up against it. You get just enough air to keep it going.

The tubes give more smoke on the meat for flavor.

Yes I built it myself out of some scrap wood in my garage. Just gives it a larger working space.

Low & Slow Barbecue can you please make a video talking in more details of how you did that? I would love to do that to mine.

@@vantroy4284 Are you referring to the shelf modification?

@@vantroy4284 I will be making a video soon on the topic.

It helps with the clean up catches a lot of the drippings

@@LowandSlowBBQ makes sense , I’ll have to find an aluminum pan and do the same

@@reeserichard3224 Yeah, you can use an alumium pan too. I do that in my Traeger. But, I also do alumium foil -- like our Friend here. Just makes clean-up easier & faster.

More smoke

cheaper than using a torch if you have electricity, plus I did not have a torch at the time lol

@@LowandSlowBBQ sounds valid :)

@@LowandSlowBBQ What brand of heat gun?

Because on a pellet grill on the smoke setting the auger only drops pellets every soo often so it isnt smoking constantly.. since the pellets are the fuel source, the higher the temperature the faster the pellets burn for heat and the less smoke they provide. A smoker tube helps deliver smoke for the whole duration. Pellet grills lack the ability to give a heavy smoke flavor due to them burning very clean and generally fast vs woodchips or chunks.

@@Mixwell1983 Thank you for clearing that up... that makes perfect sense... Thank you so much!!!

@@Mixwell1983 Personally... I'd rather get a propane grill, and put one of these pellet grillie things in it, instead of me buying a pellet grill... I'm 67 years old, and don't grill that much anyway... LOL... You have helped me alot. Thank you.

He ain't that old, Dork. Dude's younger than me, so don't think he's an olde' man yet ... Okay, Kiddo ???

@@PoeLemic it was a serious comment to a fellow Sooner! He got it. He liked it. 🤣😂 Plus it was a great Demo! Relax.

You know it!

No worries its just for fun and to help people, not trying to make a living. Thank you for the constructive criticism.
