    Question about heat element placement.

    So, night shift has put this on pause a little but it’s gave me time to think a little too. If I had to put the stack somewhere today I’d put it in the middle of the right wall top. That would be opposite the fan. Does this sound good or am I over thinking it?

    Question about heat element placement.

    The ceiling.. I put the aluminum on with the reverse rivet method. It was a little aggravating with the 1/2 inch wood but I think it would be great with thicker wood.

    Question about heat element placement.

    Any suggestions on stack placement? It will have a circulation fan 17” up the left side with the temp probe in the top right per Auber Instruments.

    Question about heat element placement.

    A new found respect for you sheet metal guys and gals!!! My first try at it. It’s not as easy as y’all make it look. I guess it’s like drywall, those that can do it make it look easy.

    Question about heat element placement.

    The plan is to clean up the bricks from a fireplace masonry kit and use this as the bottom section with the smoke tube. I will insulate around it. Have to figure out how to frame around the back and sides of the brick also.

    Question about heat element placement.

    Floor and legs. There is a guy in Wisconsin named Ron who has an outdoor/hunting blog. Googling hunting I ran across his smoker build. I’m taking the basic design from him and adding a few of my own ideas. So if you come across this Ron, thanks!! Hope you had a good hunting season!!!

    Question about heat element placement.

    Well, the heating element is on its way. I have to call Auber tomorrow, it says on their webpage they have to custom make a mounting tube for walls over 2.5 inches. Hope that doesn’t hurt to bad. Speaking of hurting, plywood has went up $4 in one week here.

    Question about heat element placement.

    Does anyone know if I could use the 110 outlet on the Auber pid that is for smoke generator to run the cirfan 40? It seems all you have to do is program for smoke generator to run for each step and that would power the fan. I’m hoping to cut down on cords out of the smoker.

    I see the brinkmann has a 1500w that’s readily available.

    Question about heat element placement.

    JckD, this started at 3’x3’x6’ but I think it’s going to be 30”x30”x6’. I would like to stay 110v but can get 220 if I need to. It now looks like I will have to work OT all weekend so the start may be delayed. I have a buddy that owns an industrial insulation company so I’m hoping he can...

    Question about heat element placement.

    Cmayna, I have done the mod with an old smoke hollow, but not the mes 40. I’m sure it would be good with the Masterbuilt, I’m just needing a larger chamber. I’m looking at the AuberWSD-1500H-W which may be overkill (don’t know much about PIDs but what I’ve learned on here) And the Auber...

    Question about heat element placement.

    Thanks Edge and Dave. This may turn into a propane smoker if I can’t get up to temp. I worry about achieving consistent low temps with propane.

    Question about heat element placement.

    It will be mostly for sausage so I only need it to get to 180 or so. My MES 40 has been good but it’s a little small.

    Question about heat element placement.

    It will be electric so I hope there isn’t much fire. I also need to do some research on the Auberins PID and fan kits.

    Question about heat element placement.

    I’m starting my smoker build this 8 day break and I was wondering if it mattered if the element was above or below my smoker tube? This may take a while so I want most of the design stuff done right the first time. I know I will think of something I wish I added after it’s finished though!!!
