    Propane burner

    ...it's going to launch into orbit off the canner. I haven't tried a plate, yet. I usually just pressure can on the kitchen stove. Adding a needle valve in the propane line may be another option. I wouldn't so much worry about the aluminum as these canners are meant to use on gas, as well as...

    First time smoke house build with pics

    I read on their website it could be used for anything because it could be adjusted really low. The one I have now if you just touch the needle valve the flame changes drastically in either direction so there is no real fine control. So far my valves have not caught fire. Even at elevated temps...

    First time smoke house build with pics

    Thanks. I appreciate the offer. It's not that cold here rarely ever getting below freezing so this burner will work for now. Thinking bout trying this regulator. Seems like it will work little better. We will see tomorrow...lol. Bayou Classic 30 PSI Adjustable Regulator w/ 48 In Outdoor Cooker...

    Looking for tips/suggestions using a vertical offset

    Ever thought of using a propane burner with a needle valve in line to control flame/temp and then use a pellet tray for smoke?

    Large Smokehouse build

    A needle valve and a watchful eye. I run a turkey fryer for a burner with a cast iron skillet on top as a heat diffuser and place wood chunks in it to produce smoke.

    Temp control

    I believe you'll be looking for (needing) an inline needle valve... all of the threads I have read about gassers usually end up doing that mod... I don't use gas but I have read about them ... The search window (top right ) will get ya heading in the right direction... Also.. welcome to...

    Great idea never thought of cast iron on the burner. That and a needle valve might solve the problem.. M

    Temp control

    ...info. Overall I have preferred gas over charcoal not for taste but control of heat however this smoker has me stumped. I will try the needle valve for heat but that is not going to help me generate smoke. My previous smokers had the wood pan right above the flame. This one has the chip pan 8...

    Smoke Vault gas smoker makeover

    ...cabinet and two aspects of the project will be mostly done. I still have to deburr the drilled holes and I will put a thin layer of hi temp RTV, wish it came in black. Most of the parts are in for the needle valve and the solenoid, the rest I get locally. So that can also be done this weekend.

    Question from a new Smoker

    ...up I couldn't get the temps down low enough so I started to tape over some of the slits to cut back on the number of flames... Using a needle valve for control of the gas flow I finally got the temps down to where I needed them.... The next problem was that the flames were so low/small that...

    Looking for tips/suggestions using a vertical offset

    I have seen some modified offsets like this. This is a pretty good suggestion, would definitely let me control the heat. Thanks!

    Anyone have experience with Weber igrill 3 thermostat?

    You need to add a low pressure needle valve to your LP gas line, so you can make slight adjustments. The needle valve is the brass Tee handle valve, they are way more accurate than the valves that come on gas smokers or grills. And they won't break the bank. I got this picture off of Amazon...

    Deciding on a new smoker

    Propane Smokers are a PITA. They have to be fed chips or use a Generator like an Electric. Require a needle Valve Mod to get temps below 225 and can be finicky. A Fart in their direction can Blow out the Flame. Pellet Smokers recover as fast or faster because of the Fan convecting heat...JJ

    Dino Ribs: An Exercise In Simplicity (Q-View)

    ...over the burners and put a stainless steel pan on that grate with the smoker wood in it. Propane is regulated with a micro adjustable needle valve so once it's dialed in it stays right where you leave it. Just add another chunk of wood to the pan once in a while and let it do it's thing...

    Commercial refrigerator build need help please

    ...and ambient temps would make a difference of what you need for a burner. If I can find it I'll try to find some info on a burner and a needle valve that Pop's used in his smokehouse build, or you can search for it. I used a hole saw to cut the hole. My intake is on bottom right hand side...

    Mistake or disaster

    ...enough oxygen makes it very bad. We are returning the smoker to before mailbox, with a better stack and am going to continue where I left off. The smoker now has a needle valve so it is more adjustable and it has a solenoid so I can add a PID controller or even make one if I still have the...
