    Black Cat Mk 2 - Propane smoker controller

    My experience tends toward the simplest solution as they tend to be the most reliable. Smokers live outdoors usually, and get operated in bad weather so durable wins the day. As far as longevity, I doubt the cabinet will last much past ten years. Certainly the burner will need replacement...
