    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    Well, got the new burner, shutter, and spring yesterday.  Works like a charm now!  I can keep a very low flame on the low side and on the high side I think I could incinerate a whole pig.  If anyone is interested, here are the parts I used for the burner...

    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    Thanks Bear.  I looked at one of those burners but I didnt like the idea of opening the door to adjust the 3 burner valves. The way I have it now there is just a needle valve outside the smoker that I can adjust without opening the door.  I actually ordered a different burner from the...

    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    Well, I removed all of the hardware from the turkey fryer and installed the new orifice on the burner, hose, and regulator with needle valve this weekend.  I think the orifice allows too much gas to get to the burner because one side of the single burner flames higher and if I open the needle...

    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    Sure will Bear....I was going to PM you to let you know I found a place locally to get pork bellies.  The guy we get our pigs from in the spring says he always keeps a few on hand for the crazies that want to make their own bacon.  He said 2.99 a pound, which i didnt think was too bad.  If you...

    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    I had my buddy make me two brackets (one for each wall) that I can lay a 2x4 flat across the front and the shelves will then sit on that instead of bolts.  It will also be easy to take the 2x4 out if I plan on hanging stuff.  Thanks for all of the ideas guys.  I also ordered a 10' stainless...

    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    Never thought of that but thats an easy idea.  I could take one of the dowel rods Im using and cut it in half on the tablesaw.  Problem solved.  Maybe I will do that.  Thanks for the idea.

    Fireboard Review

    Well, I hate to say it but my issues with my ThermoPro (even though customer service was awesome) have pushed me to looking at a fireboard.  And the reviews you guys did are great btw.

    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    Well, here is a pic of the custom grates.  I am more than pleased with them.  All I need to do now is clamp them in place and throw a few bolts between the two of them to strengthen them.  It will suck taking them apart when I want to hang something from the bars, but it was the only way I could...

    ThermoPro TP08

    It was worth a shot but im not sold at this point.  I have never had these issues with my Mavericks.  I think im going to be requesting a refund as well. Jim

    ThermoPro TP08

    I received my new TP-08 that they shipped overnight.  This time the unit pairs but the probes read 5 degrees different between the BBQ probe and the meat probe, and the receiver lost connection twice from about 60ft during the time I let the probes try to adjust to the environment they were in...

    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    Dave, I should have stated it clearer than what I did.  I wont kill it, ill restrict it.  On another note I called my buddy who owns a fabricating business and had him make me a grate.  I wasn't able to get a 30x40 grate in through the door and manipulated enough to set it in place so he is...

    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    I can definitely smell smoke when I open the door, and I do agree that It will take some time to build up.  Later today when I get home from baseball Im going to light the AMNPS and expandable again, and let it burn all night long.  Ill kill the exhaust this time too.  Thanks, Jim

    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    Dave, Believe it or not I ran the AMNPS without heat in there 3 times and I also ran a row of pelllets through the 12-18" Expandable Tube before I took that pic of the rack hangers.  I dont know how well the smoke is going to stick to that cement board.

    Propane SmokeHouse Build

    Well, she is done with the exception of hard plumbing the burner in. Staining is done, insulation and cement board in, and hanger/grate supports in. Here are a few pictures. On another note, the vents arent white anymore, theyre black. They looked like crap with that black door hardware so I...
