    Charcol to electric smoker - right procedure?

    Hi David. Maybe you didn't understand what I said. I want to see if I will get into and enjoy this "smoking" thing before I invest a lot of money into it. I'm willing to spend $70 but not $150 to find out. If I take to smokin and enjoy it I'll then go out and spend $300 to $500 on a good smoker...

    Charcol to electric smoker - right procedure?

    Hello again. Smoken meat has really got my attention lately. Before I went out and spent big money on a smoker I wanted to start out small and cheap to see if I was cut out for this. In another thread I asked about modifying a small chest freezer to an electric smoker. The more I looked at it...

    Yellow, do you think this will work?

    I see that Walmart has a Brinkmann and a Char-Broil Vertical Charcol smokers for about $70. Thinking now for this price not to bother converting the chest freezer. I will buy the Brinkmann and just convert it to Electric. I have heating elements and Temp controllers I can use. An electric smoker...

    Thats a nice smoker Dcarch. I guess in my case no one here has ever converted a 5.0 cu. ft. chest freezer into an electric smoker. I'll have to experiment as I go I guess.

    Yellow, do you think this will work?

    Hello guys. I do refrigeration work among other things. The compressor is pulling Lock Rotor Amps and is shot. This units go sale sometimes at Sears for $150. Its not worth repairing. As someone said above, the coils in this thing are embedded in the walls. Even If I replaced the compressor I...

    Yellow, do you think this will work?

    Hello all, new at this so bear with me. I got this chest freezer for free. It has a bad compressor. Its a Kenmore 5.0 cu. ft. The inside dimensions are 27" deep, 23" wide and 15" across. I was thinking of putting an electric element where the compressor compartment is and pipe the smoke into...

    Think this will be ok?

    Yellow all. I want to build a small electric smoker and try my hand at smoking.  I got elements and temperature controllers. I'm been waiting to pick up a enclosure to use. Today I found a cabinet with a door in the front. It measures about 2' wide X 2' high X 3' deep. It has a SS top but the...

    Toning it down

    Hello, I have a Nesco fd75 dehydrator that I just got. I made jerky out of ground beef using that caulking gun you can buy. I bought a case of the Nesco jerky spice works seasoning packs. The batch of jerky I made with the original "hot" seasoning was a little too hot for my taste.I didn't care...
