S2K9K pointed me to the AMNPS, so it looks like AMTS is similar in function - only that the AMTS is pellet only. I like the way you have the AMTS mounted, it looks very convenient. Do you know (or think) the AMTS could be used for cold smoking? That's the only thing I think the AMNPS might...
I used 2x3' aluminum sheets from Lowes, think they are like 0.02 or something close to that. I bent them by clamping them between strips of 3/4 in plywood and a rubber mallet -
I think it would be easy to install some ceramic tile under the burner. The burner comes with an attached aluminum...
Ya, I was planning on using aluminum angle and then I saw yours ... I'll go back to my original plan on using angle :) I need to make some measurements and then order my racks ... If can find something just under 24" I'll be golden. Still looking locally for a good set of locking clasps to keep...
Nice build! I'm looking to finish up mine this weekend - very similar to your build in shape and construction. It looks like you used oven racks for the grates, what is that you used to hang the racks on?
I'll definitely keep an eye on this ... I'm now wondering if I should add some more protection under the burner. A few differences I see is that I used 1/2" while the pictures above seem to be 1/4" - they had both at the store but the 1/4" (2x2 scored board) seemed more flexible but less...
One other thing, I first drilled a hole for a 1" pipe for the element out the bottom. I ended up having to put in a 1.5" pipe to make it work. I cut the pipe level with the sheet metal and put high temp silicon around it before installing the element.
Updated my location and signed up for the 5 day E-Course. I also bought 2 copies of his book - it has excellent reviews on Amazon, my brother just started smoking as well and figured it would be a good birthday gift for him - and I'll of course keep the second one. Thx!
I'm Eric from Idaho, been lurking on these forums for a while after deciding I was going to build a smoker. I got to that decision after starting an electric beer brewing build - I figured I could double use the same controller for a smoker. I more recently decided to build a dedicated smoker...
~24" wide by ~19" deep. It's 120v 1500 watt, here is what I bought
What I didn't take pictures of was the insulation between the 1/2" cement board and the siding - I used Roxul 23-in W x 3-in D Stone Wool Insulation Batts from Lowes - thinking I would compress the insulation into 1.5" wall. I...
Aluminum sheet metal. I learned I hate messing with sheet metal, it was the biggest pain of the project - I normally enjoy my projects but I was really glad to get that part done.
