Electric smoker build
I think I mistyped in my original post. The roxul insulation is all the way to the top and the ceiling. The durock cement board is only the bottom 25" because I was a little worried about using plywood right next to the heating element. It is a ton of trial and error. I'm going to try the 2nd...- tfire

Electric smoker build
I ran a plug with #10 wire right to the smoker with the same result. I'm thinking I do need that other heating element. 2 hours and it held steady at 145-150 for an hour. How important is fresh air intake size? Is there a formula for the size of the opening compared to the size of the smoke...- tfire

Electric smoker build
Thanks tall. I ran it on a 50 ft heavy duty extension cord. My fridge and deep freezer are on that same outlet as well. I just assumed if it was drawing to much amps it would flip the breaker. Either way, I'm going to run a dedicated circuit out there tonight(2 just in case I need another...- tfire

Chuck, I just checked again and it is a 110v 1500 watt heating element. I had some extra emt and wire laying around so I'm going to run a couple dedicated plugs to the smoker tonight.- tfire

Definitely found inspiration! I had a weird charcoal smoker that I could never get working right. The metal was really thin, it was way to pourous, and when I added a firebox it was to big. I decided to step away from it and build one that had a little more control. I wrote I build thread... -

Tall, I'm not trying to get to 400 so maybe with 3000 watts I'll be able to get up to 250. Thanks for the comparison, it put it in perspective for sure! Ab, I wish I had the funds to buy everything all at once but I went a little over budget. Eventually I'll buy the pid to control the temp and...- tfire

Electric smoker build
Hello all! I've been lurking here for a while and decided to build my own electric smoker. I had some standing seam metal left over from my barn and used that for the exterior. I used roxul insulation and durock cement board on the bottom 25". I then used 3/4" plywood to finish out the...- tfire

Hi y'all! I've been watching this site for years and decided I needed to join. I'm a construction superintendent from just south of dfw Texas. I just recently built a homemade electric smoker and I'm needing some help. I figured I could pick the collective brain trust of smf. I'll post a build...
