Question 1

How long will a propane tank last with this one?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Can the racks be removed and meats hung? Does it have a hanging ring in top?

Accepted Answer

The racks can be moved and removed. I've not seen any hanging hooks or rings on which hooks might be hanged.

Question 3

The extra tray for water where do you put it on the lower rack or where the other tray is first time doing this?

Accepted Answer

I put it on the lowest rack accessible from the upper door.

Question 4

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?

Accepted Answer

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.
