Well after the epic fail 2 days ago. I pulled 2 more elements out of a old oven. Took my amp meter to check the current draw of the supposedly 2850 watt element i bought off amazon and it was only 8 amps. Added the broiler element from the old oven and connected it to the relay also and fired...- bamafan

well I have not made an update in a while but the building is done except for some trim. Tried the 220 circuit today with a single element and could only get to 140 after an hour the element was red hot. Going to go back over and put my amp probe on it and check the current draw. If it's only...- bamafan

Got the durorock hung and we ran a test on it yesterday with my 110 volt 1500 watt element and that is not going to work. Back to the drawing board! good news is the 2 tube smokers burned good and the smoke stack worked out. Either going to have to run 220 or go propane for now.- bamafan

Was able to work a little more yesterday. Got the insulation in the ceiling and the roof dried in. Didn't get the shingles on yet cause we forgot to buy drip edge. Decided to drop the ceiling some cause it's just wasted space. Will get the rest of the insulation and the concrete board up in the...- bamafan

Well I had a guy offer me some sheet metal to line the inside with instead of the durarock? Trying to keep the costs down and it's free. Thoughts- bamafan

Well I'm hoping with the way we are going to insulate the walls and ceiling that temps will not be a problem. Just did the math and not going to be happy to have to run a 30 amp circuit if it comes to that, but we'll do what it takes to get it working. Would have been easier to just run 4...- bamafan

I found this element if I have to go to 220 it's 5000 watts. http://www.sausagemaker.com/Heating-Element-for-100-lb-Electric-Smoker-p/19-1412.htm Keith what did you use for insulation?- bamafan

Do you think regular insulation will be fine with it covered in duraroc cement board? Roxul is so dang expensive. Should never get over 180. The burner will be a back up plan. Love the set and forget. Wait for the temp monitor to yell at me that it's done!- bamafan

Dward we'll be running 2 pellet smokers in it for sure. My warming box one I made has no trouble getting to 180 but we are basically doubling the smoking area. That's why we are going to insulate the heck out or it. May not work but I've already built that one and going to give it a shot. If not...- bamafan

New Sausage maker
Well between me and Jay, we decided it was time to build a new sausage smoker at his house that would hold more than my build. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/149279/sausage-maker-electric-build Took the basic idea from Jerry's smoke house at the North Florida gathering. Going to try and...- bamafan
