I thought about the can but don't buy anything canned at all.
I also don't like wasting food, so buying something just to toss out didn't appeal to me.
The trays do work really well though, they are cheap and reusable.
First attempt with the soldering iron I used one in a ceramic coffee mug...
I thought about the carboard box first but wanted something that would last without having to get a new box every few times.
Also wanted to be able to keep it outside so I wouldn't make the inside of my house smell like a smoke house.
The price of the box was well worth having something...
Not too worried about a flame however, I suppose as precaution, I could cover the trays in foil and just poke some holes in it.
Actually seems to work pretty good, so far.
However, like I mentioned, I want to work some vents in it.
I have a really cool idea for doing it too that will cost...
Disaster!!!!
First run disaster.
The plastic around the hot plate caught fire ruining the meat.
I was able to salvage the burner though and will be rebuilding the smoker without plastic.
I wanted to build a cold smoker that would work well off wood chips because I can run tot he store and buy those as opposed to saw dust.
Now, of course this will not burn as long as something like an amazing smoker but it will burn more then long enough for doing cheeses.

.....I suppose if I was in it, my teammates would just have to drink water. lol
Bought a bunch of pork and beef ribs today to throw on my little pot smoker tomorrow.
Apparently my buddy bought some to so unfortunately some may be getting frozen (I hate freezing meet).
Can't wait.
Also bought a bunch of chease to cold smoke.
And there is always good craft beer at my...
I don't know about raising the temp up that high to do dough.
If I was going to try smoking dough, which does sound interesting, I would do it during the rising process which should be done maybe slightly above room temp.
At 120 degrees the yeast will start to die.
80-90 degrees would be...
Thanks for the welcomes everyone.
I noticed that on the test runs where I was checking the to see the temps.
I found it is really super stable but as soon as you open the lid, it drops drastically.
However, it doesn't take long to get right back up to temp.
But for a single guy just...
