Correct. Most folks weld them in, but I don't see why they couldn't be bolted in as well - as long as the nuts and/or bolts don't interfere with the rack sliding in and out. To give you a visual, here are a couple pics from one of Robert's (@tx smoker) cabinet builds. I hope he doesn't mind...

Been watching more videos on this PID, and reading more forum threads on it and how people set it up. One question: What kind of case do you put these PID components into to keep them somewhat protected from the weather when you use them on your smoker? Some use a case that comes with an overall...

I agree... more help there ...

Welcome from ND May find some answers in the search forum for smoker builds , othewise some experienced people will be along. @daveomak ???

@Cotosoti provided lots of info and details for the purpose of a PID controller and what it does. To add on. In short, the stock MES controller will do a big peak/valley style of heating. Where you set the smoker to something like 250F smoker temp and the MES controller will give you an...

Thank you Joel! Means alot to us! And we look forward to alot more cooks on it as well! Look forward to seeing some future builds of yours again ! I don't think Jim can reply... think he might be getting enabled to work some overtime for a new smoker he wants to buy! :emoji_laughing: Ryan

That's the look that I am looking for, and I think I've almost got it this batch! They are on the final stretch. I think insulating my smoker might be helpful. One side is nice and wrinkly and he other is still smooth. So, I think prevailing wind cools one side of the box! Thanks for your...

Hahaha, sweet builds. Yeah I started with big trailer builds and have slowly worked in reverse over the years to smaller builds. My first build was a 80 gallon tank deal, that I built like your meadow Creek style black smoker. Your copper smoker looks like it took a while to build.

How ya doin Mike ? I'm about 40 minutes west of St. Louis . St. Charles county . Look through this and pick something that fits what you have . Good luck . https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forums/smoker-builds.197/

...and welcome from North Carolina. You'd be better off posting all those questions in a new post in the Reverse Flow sub-forum of the "smoker Builds" forum. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forums/reverse-flow.201/ There's a ttorial there and a boatload of threads that will answer most...

Nice! There aren't many that go through the trouble of snack sticks as small as 15mm, but I feel that it's totally worth the effort! Trying to make snack sticks out of 17mm starts to feel more like a meal than a snack, and 16mm is a bit closer but still doesn't feel like a "real" snack stick to...

Welcome from Green Bay. You have come to the right place for DIY smoker builds. Lots of great advice and great folks here. Here is a propane tank smoker I designed but was never able to complete. JC :emoji_cat:

...offset at some point this year, but the flow for that will be wildly different from a vertical smoker, so i don't know that i'll be of much help. still interested in the build, though. start a thread in the 'smoker builds' area and i'm sure some folks that are smarter than i am will offer...

I have tried to search a little bit for different info. Always learning something new. I was wondering if I posted this in the wrong area... Thanks!

I'm in St Charles, right at 70 and Zumbehl. Thanks for the link

Sadly not, I'm up towards the Northern end of England. I will try and get some measurements from other builds I see on this site though!

I don't use a heatsink on my electrical controllers. I mount the SSR right to the controller case. I never have had any issues doing this other than the controller being too cold in the winter to run. I added a resistive heater to the box to combat this. I have been running this type of...

...account was to get some advice on my design for the smoker, since I'm completely new to this and have only looked at a few threads and smoker builds on youtube so far. I'm usually quite finicky and overanalyse a bunch of stuff, and am starting to with my design, so was hoping some people with...

Hi, just joined and looking for a little advice on my numbers. I’ve been at the same point for weeks with my builds as I’ve put off making a cut until I’m certain the numbers are right. Decided to just ask and hopefully get a second opinion before I take the plunge. So I work in metric...

Whenever the subject of smoker builds comes up among friends I try to find pictures of that one. Finally got it bookmarked. I joined about the time you were building it, if I remember correctly.....still love it, and glad you didn't paint it. There was debate at the time. Sorry it had to...
