    Hot plate in a gasser?

    I've used one for years with a cast iron skillet. Get the wood smoking first and then regulate temp with the burner. On my current smoker I installed an electric element with a thermostat that gets plugged in from the exterior of the smoker.

    Propane smoker build question

    I've used these burners and in my vertical they put out too much heat or blow out if too low.
