I agree Jabbo. The analog are there for reference only. The real deal is digital. I have two 1/4" NPT couplings welded on the back of my smoker, 15" apart, off center. I can get 2 probes in each hole. The probes have about 3' of cable so they will reach any area in the smoker. But I only use...
Thanks Dave. You're right to the point. That's exactly the information I needed.
I only add small logs, peach and plum, 3 or 4 times during the smoke. The smoker is almost a set it and forget it. I normally use a 40 lb. bag of mesquite to run the smoker. It lasts for 6 or so hours without any...
I'm sold on the little plasma.
I cut the damper holes from firebox to smoke chamber. This plasma doesn't have a high freq. so it has to touch metal. It doesn't blast that little arc out the end when it's not in contact with the cutting surface. I'm used to the other kind. We have that at...
Thanks guys. The plasma is the new style inverter. It runs 110 or 220. I hooked mine up 220. I bought an air compressor from HB on sale for $169 an upright 2.5 HP 21 gal. 125 psi. It keeps ups just fine.

We smoked 16 turkeys today!

I can't believe I forgot to take pictures with all the birds in the smoker.
Nice looking air damper. I like the curved feature. It's more work but gives it that look.
Once you clean it up and paint it it'll be fine. It's to bad it'll be on the bottom so folks can't see it.
Next time how many turkeys do you need? You got it covered.
Nice evolving smoker you're building Fiveflat. This is what's fun about building your own. You can change and modify it to your own likes as your build progresses. Nice job.
I'm finally getting started. Here's a photo of the hinge I'm putting together.
I'm using 1" as the hinge pin size. It'll never wear out.
Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I get started it starts to rain, but I'm used to working outside These mobile umbrellas come in handy.
