Nice smoker there...Why so many PID's? Totally, that's a geeked up smoker OP...I mean that respectfully!!
I'm waiting on my PID, SSR and K Thermo to finish of my SS hospital cabinet!

Try a dry rub in lieu of the brine...I use 1/2c Kosher salt, 1 cup of brown sugar (and roughly 1 tsp of whatever flavor you're looking for). Coat entire filet and let stand in fridge for 12-24hours. Rinse off rub, coat with honey (you can add whatever flavoring you wish...I like chipotle) I...
Nice...big camper here (see my username)! I love winter camping (When it gets cold I crank the heater to 70*) and I especially love summer camping (when it gets hot I crank the A/C to 70*)!
Nice pics!

Awesome work sir! They are truly, unique, works of art...I'd be proud to display them in front of my casa anytime...alas, I cannot afford one of those!

I suspect, you're most likely right?
For now, I'll run all the test and seasoning as it is!
I've been thinking...usually one can put a $ figure with that...and in this case it's also true...what about a mini-rotisserie smoker? I can scavenge any parts from an old bicycle and Lowe's...
Any...
Good Morning Sawyer...
It's funny, cause I just switched gears and went from making a propane smoker into an electric one!
Here's my thread on the my build...there's some good info from DaveOmak and Dward on the do's and don'ts and a few cautions to be aware of...
Okay...
So I switched gears and went electric.
Cabinet (with taxes and fees) $92.55
Incidentals (screws, aluminum channels, drill bits, etc..): ~$86.00
Used 1,500w/15amp burner: $4.16
Ebay PID controller with SSR and Temp Probe: $21.89
16g Steel: $106.00
TOTAL: $310.60 (way more than I wanted...
Yup...Here's the one I ordered (LINK)...as far as the box goes...that Auberin one is nice (and pricey), but I'll make a 'box' out of something 'cool' and mount it on the smoker...Don't let the label mislead you, I found many others that have used the same, cheap, PID with success on other...
Dave,
I'm gonna built my own from scratch using a PID, SSR and K Thermocouple (hello ebay)...should function well enough for me...here's the post I found a lot of good info on. Smoking a 13lb brisket in Frank and it's snowing pretty good here...so project will be hold until Monday...
Dave--
I am looking at the auberin controllers (PID), the heatin element is a 1,500w 120vac! I clipped off the dial/heat control (it was a simple mechanical one)! So I need a controller that can operate the element? The cheaper the better! Which one would work? I can rewire the element 'hot' no...
Dave and Dave,
Well, I've switched gears and decided to go electric! I found a 1,500w 110v element from a griddle. I will mount it from the back, run wires to the control on the top. Your ideas have paid-off, I've decided to add an interior skin to preserve heat. I tried finding some 16g...
