    thermocouple

    I did some digging and came up with an inexpensive solution to convert to electric.  Some of these items could probably be found cheaper on Ebay.  The website is automation direct.  If you choose this method I could draw up a wiring diagram.. BOM NAME:Smoker electronics       BOM...

    thermocouple

    Search the net.  Heck a cheap stove top element will work,  just need some electronics to control it.  That will take you back to your original question about a thermocouple and controller.  If your serious about doing it I could do some digging and come up with the parts you need to buy and...

    Saturdays Canadian bacon and Sundays ribs

    Finally had some nice weather and did a little smoking.  Canadian bacon on Saturday and Sunday ribs. Out of the fridge after 7 days of curing. Into the smoke, apple and cherry. 6 pounds of goodness. (just a third of it).  Usually that's beer in the background. All sliced up. Now the...
