    Trying to build a smoker....help!

    I would cut a hole in the bottom (line the hole so the insulation is covered) and put the hot plate with the chip pan down there and use the regular oven controls to keep the temps right. A hot plate on low will give you smoke in a cast iron or SS box. You could add a smoke pistol or some other...

    1st Bacon Smoke w/Qview

    do you still have the bellies in the smoker? I usually leave mine in overnight if I can keep the temps down. I only do bacon in the winter because of this temp problem. Yours is looking very good so far.

    Smoking a pig

    I agree that for the work involved for just a few people it is too much work for a whole pig to be cost/labor effective. If you are determined I would look at a buried pig cook, not realy smoked but good non the less.

    Brined Vs. Un-Brined Chickens: A Taste Off!

    I use a clean cooler with 2 liter bottles filled with water and frozen to keep the birds held under and cold, works well when hams or bacon are brined for a long time, just change the bottles out every day, it won't water down the brine that way.

    Cabela's Pro 150 meat slicer

    My friend had the pro 150 slicer and ended up returning it and getting the commercial grade 1/4 hp one. He is very happy with it.
