    We made a smoker!

    Auber Circulation Fans We do have a small issue with the fan setup. We are getting overcooked meat directly under the fans due to the constant flow of hot air. We plan to make some sort of baffle cover to divert the hot air down and into the center chamber without directly blowing onto the...

    1/2" Solenoid Valve Also need to make sure the power output matches your PID controller. 110v, 220v, 12v, etc Make sure you also install some sort of thermocouple safety shutoff valve.

    We made a smoker!

    Yes designed mostly for sausage, we end up doing 300-600lbs a year depending on how many animals we harvest. The smoking was the pinch point that would take days doing multiple batches in the cookshack. I did crank it up to 275* and it was able to hold temp, not many times we will need 25 pork...

    We made a smoker!

    After 4 months of redesigns and waiting for various parts our custom smoker is finished! Started with an old commercial fridge and some stainless steel cabinets/tubs purchased from a neighbors junkyard pile. Fridge had non heat rated insulation so we ended up having to strip it down to...

    Propane Setup for large upright smoker?

    We increased the intake air vents by 100% and removed 80% of the angle iron channel the burner was resting in, to get some airflow around the burner. Seems to have fixed the problem! The burner does go out while warming up at around 80-100degs without an exhaust fan drawing the air through the...

    Propane Setup for large upright smoker?

    Smoker is almost finished. We are running into an issue with the propane burner….. Pretty sure it’s an air flow issue…the burner will run forever when on the bench vice. When we put it into the firebox we get to about 80deg and the burner + pilot extinguishes, takes about 12min. As we keep...

    Propane Setup for large upright smoker?

    Here is a rough schematic of my build. I apologize for my lack of artistic ability lol In theory this should allow for automatic control of cooking temp/time, smoke generator on/off and auto shutdown when meat reaches desired temp. I relied heavily on previous users posts about this type of...

    Propane Setup for large upright smoker?

    Currently building a 70 cubic ft upright reverse flow smokehouse. Will mainly be used for sausage but hope to also be able to go higher temps for brisket/pork butt, etc and lower temps for cold smoking cheese/salami. Found lots of useful info here on a setup using PID controller, safety...
