    Propane smoke house build

    ...in) topped by a wooden frame lined with hardie board and insulated. Interior dimensions of the smoke chamber would be approx. 32" x 32" x 48." My original plan was to heat with a propane burner fed through a needle valve, but electricity would be a significant upgrade for temperature control!

    Lowering temp on a Dyna-glo LP gas smoker

    ...on the lowest setting. After an hour or so I switch to the other one to keep even cooking. I was thinking to use a smaller capacity burner but where to find one? I will investigate the plugging of holes in burner and the needle valve suggestion. If anyone discovers a simple fix please post...

    Lowering temp on a Dyna-glo LP gas smoker

    Ok, thanks for the info! So do I need a specific type of needle valve or are they all the same? Can I just hop on Amazon and get one or do I need more specifics?

    To much or to little smoke with Homemade cold smoke generator

    You can add a small 1/4'' barbed fitting to the bottom of the burn tube, then run some 1/4'' soft copper tubing to a 1/4'' needle valve. Then from the other end of the needle valve run 1/4'' clear rubber fish tank bubbler tubing to a small fish tank air pump, either plug in or battery operated...

    ...needs, but I want to be able to smoke sausages/snack sticks/etc, and it simply won't go low enough for that. I thought I'd try adding a needle valve, but I have NO IDEA which one to get (high pressure burner, low pressure burner...I don't know which I have). I'd like to be able to simply...

    Which Needle Valve "kit" for MB ThermoTemp XL 40?

    ...sticks/etc and it simply won't go low enough for that. So before I go spend the money on a MES, I thought I'd try adding a needle valve, but I have NO IDEA which one to get. I'd like to be able to simply remove the hose/regulator that came with the smoker and replace it with one that...

    It works.

    ...chamber temp hovers around 350 checked with my infrared thermal gun. The temperature is very steady and easily regulated with the needle valve. I added a solenoid valve controlled by a PID but is not needed. I'm going to make a few more adjustments then tidy up and finish my rough tin work.

    ...pipe for around and under the burner. If the wind is still a problem I'll add a cone of screen to the end of the pipe. I also added a needle valve as suggested here. Now I can get and keep the exact flame level I want. Then came the re-engineering of the burner itself. From the factory the...

    Propane smoke house build

    That’s a big smoke chamber. My smokehouse chamber is 3x3x4, I use a 35,000 btu turkey fryer burner with an inline needle valve to control flame. I place a cast iron skillet on top as a heat diffuser and a place to smolder wood chunks. This setup works very good from late fall through early...

    Hot/cold smoke house build

    Needle valve in line feeding the burner. This gives very good control of the flame. My smokehouse is 3x3x7’ the bottom 3’x3’ is lined with hardibacker for fire protection, the upper 3’x4’ is where the meat hangs, or I can also use expanded metal racks. I did not line the upper area but...

    Hot/cold smoke house build

    Needle valve on the propane tank? When you say 3x3 and 4x3, are you referring to rack size? What's the purpose of the hardi, fire protection? Did you just line the bottom where the fire is or the whole house?

    ...reply. I actually converted mine to run on natural gas, so I get to skip the regulator etc. I am going to copy your set up and put the needle valve right below the factory valve. I dismantled mine and figured out the one part I was unsure of. The reducer needed to attach to my valve is 1/8”...

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    The easiest way is to mount a needle valve at the tank. You might find a pre-made assembly with some searching. You want a LOW PRESSURE assembly, not high pressure! For DIY, this is just to give you an idea, and you need to make sure the parts will fit your smoker and are the correct size. If...

    Just finished building my smokehouse but still not sure about propane or electric.. please advise?!

    ...They also have the safety switch too. My smokehouse house is 3’x3’x7’ I use a turkey fryer with a cast iron pan on top I also have a needle valve on the gas supply line, this is a must. On the other hand it looks like you may be able to use a hot plate (electric) really depending on the...

    Stuffer pressure release valve removal..."e clip"...HELP!

    I just unboxed my new stuffer (Game Winner 5lb from Academy). As I was reading the instructions to break down/clean, it says to remove the pressure release valve. The problem is how the thing is secured...I believe it's called an "e clip" (this is not the valve in my stuffer, but it looks the...
