Is the smoke stack cap supposed to be adjustable on the KC Combo? Haven't been able to find a definitive answer online and mine doesn't seem to be adjustable, trying to figure out if that's expected or not.

Mine is adjustable. Have you tried to turn it? I have had mine for a few years now.

Yeah, I can turn it but it doesn't adjust up or down, it just spins

Keep spinning probably 20 turns to move close to a inch.

Your smoke cap is adjustable, not to a point that the it would be closed off. There should be some ventilation through the top in order maintain an up draft of smoke and heat.

Nah, unfortunately something must be off with mine. I checked it again just now, spun it in both directions at least 30 times, and there's zero vertical movement. It's also slightly wobbly when spinning so I'm assuming it's not catching on whatever it's supposed to be screwing into. I'll call Pitboss later and see if they can send me a replacement under warranty.

Mine spins and adjusts up and down. When I first tried to turn it, it was spun on pretty tight. I have seen posts on other forums where these stacks have been stripped and had to be replaced under warranty

Had one that was stripped. Contacted PB and they sent a replacement. It took over a month though to get.

Finally got around to calling Pitboss today and they're sending me another smoke stack and cap. I've had to have a few replacement parts sent for my KC Combo since I got it 2 years ago but I have to say, Pitboss' customer service has been great and there's never been any hassle in getting these replacement parts.

I just had to contact them myself for the first time. lost that stupid plastic handle on my adjusting bar. All they asked for was SN date of purchase and address...3 mins later had myself a order placed...works for me lol

Has anyone added treads ( Threading ) extra with a die to make the smoke stack cap on the LP gas grill portion able to close more than the factory threads ? I know as mentioned you do not want to close it completely, but any advantage to making it close more ?
You can but I don’t see the reasoning behind it for my 820
Air you having issues with wind or cold weather?
