    Propane grill burner is way to hot

    This is the box and rack for the h2o/drip pans. The upper rack is not installed yet. I am primarily hanging salami for now. The dates on the bottom are wrong. Darn camera reset itself when the battery went dead. I took them 12-8-10. Picture #2 shows the inline needle valve I installed. I...

    Propane grill burner is way to hot

    That's on the agenda for tomorrow morning. I'm leaning towards a 5" vent with a damper. I'm sure that will drastically decrease the temps. The needle valve took care of the burner. It barely has a flame now. After 30 minutes the temp was 218. Thanks for the assistance. archernut

    Propane grill burner is way to hot

    Everything is installed. The needle valve made a huge difference, however even with one side of the burner off it still peaked at 210 degrees. I can cook salami with those temps, but I want to lower it to around 130 degrees to smoke with. The top chimney/vent is only 1.5 inches. I'm thinking I...

    Propane grill burner is way to hot

    I've looked all over town this morning for a needle valve with no luck. Are there any websites where I can purchase one? Thanks

    Propane grill burner is way to hot

    I see the point of the needle valve. I agree with the install and will definately put it in. I will have to search for a low pressure burner. It is hard to find parts locally due to being winter. I wish it wasn't so darn cold out. I would take a few pics and post them. I built a box with a...

    Propane grill burner is way to hot

    well, I am unsure on low or high? I'm guessing it is probably high. Now on the needle valve? I guess that would solve some of the problem but wouldn't that be harder to regulate?

    Propane grill burner is way to hot

    This has been a frustrating week. The single burner I installed for my heat source in my fridge cooker/smoker gets to hot. Even at the lowest setting it still brings the temps over 300 degrees in a matter of minutes. This is impossible to smoke/cook deer salami in. It is the smallest burner I...

    freg build

    Cooker is done now. I'm firing it up for a test run. I did do a 1.5" chimney. The bottom is cut to allow for lots of air. I will post some pics and let ya'all know how it went. Thanks for the input.

    need input on fridge build

    It will be fine. I did not remove the enamel in mine. I seasoned it well before I actually hung salami in it. The smoke soot coated it well.

    I am doing the same thing. Last year we took an older model and bigger fridge, and converted it using a 220 electric stove burner with a aircompressor tank turned into a woodstove mounted on the back. It worked great for deer salami. The temp had to get app 300 for app 4 hours to actually cook...

    Stuffing casings tight

    I have been doing venison salami for a few years now. I had a castrophe the other day. I wasn't watching the stuffing process closely. I was doing the cranking. The casings weren't tight. They were pretty loose. Anyway, they were smoked for app 3 hours in my homemade smoker/cooker from a...
