    How to use a CampChef 18: SV to cold smoke

    I put in the needle valve to add a PID to it so I can control the temperature better. The problem with gas is the lowest the temperature can go is about 110*. I am in the planning stages to convert mine to an electric unit. Then the temperature can go as low as you want.

    How to use a CampChef 18: SV to cold smoke

    ...water tray, and not have water in it. If I need moisture I would put water in a stainless loaf pan. I'm not certain there will be enough draw. I have a needle valve on my smoker and can get as low as 110* but that's still a little too hot. If I need more draw, I thought about using two tubes.

    Propane burner

    Could switch to a low pressure regulator and then plug halve the holes.

    First time smoke house build with pics

    I try and source most stuff locally to help out small business owners. I just posted that regulator from Ebay for the photo. There is a small hardware store near my house that has the exact same one I posted. If it does not work out I will try the folks in the link ya posted. Thanks.

    Needle valve parts and usage ?

    I have the same smoker as do others on here. That is how I smoke. Turn on the main control , leave on high and adjust with your new needle valve. I received my help from @OldSmoke for my needle valve set up, as Randy has done major Mods on his and he knows better than I. here is a link to his...

    Masterbuilt problems

    ...deal of time talking with me and texting pictures back and forth to put together the little rig I needed. It is basically an in-line needle valve as OldSmoke and bikerbob have suggested, but since the hose that came with the smoker has a 5/16" inner diameter, I also needed two adapters to fit...

    How to use a CampChef 18: SV to cold smoke

    I would like better gas control here is the summer it gets to be fun challenge to try and keep it in the low and slow range when I am doing Butts. And since mine is on the East side of the house for now I get a fair amount of solar heating of the cabinet.

    More NO in mailbox modded MES30 w/AMNPS

    ...The basic design was ok though, and my only real improvement was as above, and the addition of a much higher output air pump with a needle valve and a couple of air inlet ports rather than one so that I could avoid producing billowing white smoke on startup, as well as a removable tray on the...

    Smoke Vault gas smoker makeover

    ...to be a few holes drilled in the bottom to draw air from to carry it into the smoker. The smoker with the mailbox attached. Some smoke entering the smoker. The needle valve is somewhat better then the valve that comes on the unit, but not tremendous. That's where the solenoid comes into...

    Smoke Vault gas smoker makeover

    ...the diagonal from middle of front to middle of the side is longer. If I did this the valve would have to be on the side. I'm working on a different plan to wrap around the corner with a 90 degree fitting on both the solenoid side and the bypass side. Then the needle valve will be on the front.

    Pellet smoker grill combo????

    If you are referring to constantly having to adjust the temp, Have you installed a needle valve in your gas line? I should have done this on my GOSM generations ago!!

    Vertical 500 gallon propane tank smoker advice

    ...the past 12 years or so have been converted to propane, even the new one I just built a few weeks ago. If you install a micro adjustable needle valve you can dial the temp in to exactly what you want and it'll pretty much sit there all day. All you need is a steel rack above the burner to set...

    How to use a CampChef 18: SV to cold smoke

    I really need to look into this upgrade on the SV. I also thought about using a couple of charcoal briquettes and placing the wood on them like the snake method in a kettle.

    First time smoke house build with pics

    ...Spring and fall though it’s too much horsepower, so I switch to the same burner you posted. I tried a low pressure regulator and needle valve. That didn’t work, so am currently running a high pressure with needle valve. It works, but I’ll be switching burners for the turkey fryer in a couple...

    Lower gas smoker temperature

    ...put the screws in in steps. The current low end is 140* if I use the valve that comes on the unit. I can get it down to 120* using the needle valve I added for the gas manifold. I want it to be safe down to say 90*. First attempt I will add 5 screws at every 11th hole. Depending on the...

    Smoke Vault gas smoker makeover

    Awesome, it looks like you are getting draw. I have noticed that the warmer the smoker body gets, the better the draw is on mine. Good work!

    Smoke Vault gas smoker makeover

    Thats what i'm doing. But it has to go into a tee, there has to be a route that does not go through the solenoid that has the needle valve. It is used for the minimal flow of gas to keep the light on and if I want to cook without the solenoid. The flare and hose with a barb fitting take up...
