    Bottom Venting of Electric Smoker

    I fired the smoker up in the garage and the temp went to 230 fairly easily.  I smoked a pork butt this weekend (pics to follow) and the smoker only attained 190 degrees.  It was raining while I was smoking so that might have had something to do with it.  I noticed that on the outside of the...

    Bottom Venting of Electric Smoker

    The bottom plate that the heaters are attached to needs to be better insulated.  Right now, I have both burners on and can only reach a temp of 197 in the smoker.  The burners are red hot, but the bottom plate is hot too.  Also, has anybody used any type of heat deflectors?  Maybe I can make...

    Bottom Venting of Electric Smoker

    Also, I was planning on using my heating elements to ignite the wood.  Would it be possible to make the shield removable so that when I'm adding smoke, I can quickly remove the shield, or would it be better to ignite the wood with a different method?

    Bottom Venting of Electric Smoker

    I will be using an electric heat source.  For the vent holes, should they be close to the heat source? Or just somewhere on the bottom of the smoker?

    Thermocouple position for electric smoker

    I bought a t/c, temp controller, ssr package off of lightobject.com. the t/c is for use in air. Is it better to put the t/c at the top of the smoker or closer to where the food will be? The smoker is a home built jobber so I don't have any specs from the manuracturer :(
