    Commercial Oven to Electric Smoker Build

    I recently obtained a used Southbend gas convection oven from my buddy Nick.  The unit was salvaged for parts.  All that was left was the shell.  I liked the size and durability of this stainless steel unit.  Thought it would be a great electric smoker build. The first thing I did was wire...

    Auber Dual 1800 watt PID - What heater?

    OK, I have searched the forums but have been coming up blank.  I have an old used Southbend gas convection oven that I am converting to an electric smoker.  The convection holes will be insulated and closed off.  There will be a chimney on top.  It is 4" and has a damper.  I will be using my...
