    New Smoker in Use

    I've used my new fully insulated smoker with the pellet stove/smoke generator now a few different times. The thing comes up to temperature very quickly regardless of the ambient, outside temperature. The whole intent was to create a smoker that I can leave unattended for many hours. The range...

    Fully insulated "cooking vessel"

    I've been working on a project to go with my smoke generator. I want to be able to walk away from the smoker and not worry about cooking temperature. So I have put this together. It's actually a Char-griller unit inside of a 55 gallon drum. The insulation is in between the halves. The heating...

    Pellet stove turned "smoke generator"

    I hope to experiment with cold smoking a lot of foods. But the main object is to make something that I don't have to baby-sit.

    Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. The pictures are of an older version. I'm in the process of my first big revision using a different pellet stove for the smoke generator and adding some beefier rear hinges for the cooking chamber. Because I'm using insulation between the char-griller and...

    Hello, I've been a fan of Jeff's smokingmeat.com website for several years. I'm in the process of building a two-part smoker. The first part is what I would call the "smoke generator." I'm using a Lopi wood pellet stove, something that was designed to produce heat with no smoke. I have cut down...
