    Please Help with Electric Temp Control

    Woodcutter, I may end up using your stove switch idea.  My folks live in Kronenwetter and I'm going there tomorrow to pick up a pistol I just purchased from Gander.  Maybe I'll stop in at Charlei's and see what they have.  I looked for a dimmer switch and I had a hard time finding one that could...

    Please Help with Electric Temp Control

    Sorry,  I've been away from the site for awhile.  Dave, I like the dimmer switch idea.  I think I'll give it a try.  I have a good thermometer and I should be able to monitor well enough to do what I want using a dimmer switch, I think.  Woodcutter, We just drove through Marathon a couple of...

    Please Help with Electric Temp Control

    I do have pretty good sized openings for intake and exhaust in the smoker.  Also, I'm looking to drop quite a bit in terms of degrees.  I want to use this as a jack of all trades smoker.  My original intent was to use it to make venison summer sausage and snack sticks.  It's running way too hot...

    Please Help with Electric Temp Control

    I have a proofing box from a bakery that I pulled out of the landfill and turned into a propane smoker.  It worked well, but I decided to insulate it so I can use it in the winter here in northern Wisconsin.  The insulation worked extremely well and I am now having trouble keeping temps low...

    Sesame Partridge and Beef Kabobs

    Sounds like a great thing to do with those sharpies.  I do kabobs quite a bit with pheasants and ruffed grouse on the grill.  For some reason, I never thought of doing them on the smoker.  Those look great.  I'll have to try that.

    If I buy the A-maz-n AMNPS smoker

    Call Todd at A-Maze-N Products.  He is really good to talk with and isn't just about pushing his products.  His pellets are affordable, but he will help you find affordable pellets/dust either online or in your area.  I hemmed and hawed before I bought mine and I spoke with Todd several times...

    Sausage and Fish in the Same Smoker?

    Thanks guys.  I was hoping he was wrong.  I plan to use drip pans to catch anything that drops and I figured that, combined with cleaning when necessary, would eliminate any possible problems.

    Sausage and Fish in the Same Smoker?

    I posted this question in the build section, but I hope I'll get more responses here.  Can/should I use the same smoker to smoke sausage and meats in that I use to smoke fish in?  I don't mean at the same time.  I recently built a smokehouse with the intention of using it for an all purpose...

    Long Time Listener First Time Caller - Smoke House is Finally Done

    Thanks guys.  I'm looking forward to putting it to use.  I have a question for those of you reading this that are more experienced than me (probably everyone).  A guy I work with, who is apparently a pretty experienced smoker, says I shouldn't smoke fish in this smokehouse if I'm going to smoke...

    Long Time Listener First Time Caller - Smoke House is Finally Done

    First of all, I've been watching this site and gathering information for quite some time.  Help from all of you unwitting advisors has been much appreciated.  A couple of years ago my Dad gave me his old Little Chief smoker that he used to make jerky on when I was a kid.  I've used it a few...

    Elk Jerky for Easter...LOL

    That reminds me of my childhood growing up in western Washington.  My Dad used to make elk jerky every fall to clean the freezer for hunting season.  It's been twenty five years since we moved to the Midwest and that is still one of my fondest childhood memories.  Your grandkids are lucky.
