    i built a large chest smoker

    i use wood chip for the smoke. I think I need a low temp fan because I'm all ready burning too hot as it is 200 degrees with the burners on low. The chest is 48in tall 42in wide 28in deep. I made it manly for jurky and summer sausage. so the temp needs to be at around 160 to 175
