    Utility Cart Holding Cabinet Conversion - Should work well eh?

    Okay, getting ready to pull the trigger on everything for the PID controller. I want dual probes, one for smoke/box temp and 1 meat probe. Am i correct in assuming I can use this 2352P to set a temp manually and hold that temp? And then also have the ability to program temps using the ramp/soak...

    Where would you place the intake and exhaust? I was thinking intake on the bottom towards the front left. And the the exhaust on top towards the right rear. And suggestions on nice looking vents/dampers/piping to use? I thought bottom for intake as if I do add a small firebox I can come up...

    If that's the best way to do this then that's what I shall do. I would prefer to avoid the false bottom so as to have more room for meat but if there is no other way

    How would I place the insulation around exactly? Aluminum is good up to 1200 right? So how hot would the burner actually get if I set the pid to 300 (building a PID)? Internal temp is 300 but the burner would be hotter than that.

    I don't really have 8 inches, the whole inside is 24" tall. Could it be closer? Maybe I need to look into hot plate?

    Does the steel plate heat up? That's kind of how I was think I could do it with a round. Burner. I guess I'm trying to build while preserving the most space inside for cooking.

    correct, thats what im going for with the auxilary firebox/mailbox mod. all that left is figuring out how to install the element and protect it. First need to figure out whicih style to buy. Brinkmann 1500w? 1000W stove top style? Or cheap hotplate and modify it, something like this...

    Utility Cart Holding Cabinet Conversion - Should work well eh?

    I want to be able to cold smoke too. Wasnt planning to use a chip pan but rather an AMNPS. Thought I would get a smaller external box hooked to the side which could house the AMNPS. So how would one install an element like this? http://www.sausagemaker.com/41900heatingelementfor20lbsmoker.aspx...

    ok, so What would be the best style heater to install? This is an aluminum box, want to make sure I don't damage the inside. Would a 1000w heater be large enough? It will be insulated. Do I go burner style or strip style? All the fridge builds show some type of false bottom....I dont really...

    Utility Cart Holding Cabinet Conversion - Should work well eh?

    Took it apart. Easier than I thought. Fiberglass in the door and cut foam sheets in the cabinet. The inner is solid! As long as you think alu is a good material to smoke in I'm gonna mover forward???? Can I do this in aluminum?
