Been lurking around for a while while building a smoker, I have picked up a bunch of great stuff.
I have been building a smoker for a while and finally got to the point of testing it out.
I am having challanges with controlling the temp of inside the box. I am using a "side burner" and control valve from a outdoor grill, on high heats up to over 300, which is OK, but on Low to keep it under 200, the flame keeps going out. I have tried to block some of the holes in the burner with limited success.
I would like to find soemthing to give a decent flame and keep it around 175.
The box I have is an insulated warmer from a restraunt, measures 20 x 40 x 26
What I am looking for are some ideas for a burner. It seems after it heats up I could keep it warm with a candle.
I have a 3" damper for air input on the bottom of the door and a 3" exhaust at the top rear, both are wide open.
To monitor the temp I am using a digital meat probe, (on sale at Walmart)
Any ideas/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Bert
