My cabinet is uninsulated single thickness. My idea is to use a welders blanket against the cabinet then sew a movers blanket on top of that (or two depending on the insulation) then attach it to the cabinet with snaps that can be removed while preparing everything. I would like to cut the top off so I can access the inside for a rotisserie also.
Whether hot or cold smoke, I'd like to do both if possible. I was thinking about a detachable hot box for when I do the cold smoke then bolt the cover back on over the opening for when I do the hot smoke, no hotter than 250 degrees F. I have 110V with 20 amp breaker for power source or (this is what I have been pondering) using propane as a source. I was just looking through the threads last night to get ideas which way I'd like to go. It would be easier to control the temp with the PID though.
So I guess I would like an all around smoker all rolled into one. Haha. I'll see if I can figure out how to post a picture of the cabinet on the thread to give you an idea what it is.
What type of heating elements do you recommend? I have thought about hot plate burners, electric stove burners. I had place a decent hot plate inside the cabinet (with out insulation inside my garage during the summer) and it barely reached 100 degrees. So that brand hot plate was out.
Thanks for the help.
