Awesome thanks for all the help. I think I got the jist of it now.
One last question if you know the answer. Cover the element or not? I am worried if I cover it the heat won’t go up even enough but not sure if leaving it uncovered would hurt it.
That makes sense.
So If I run power in to a 25a breaker to use as a switch and run a 30a in the house breaker box I should not have to fuse the legs going to the element?

I do already have 110v out...

If using 4 wire the neutral is not used? The SSR is only turning off 1 leg so is the element still under power?
If I wanted to add a 120v outlet on the smoker for an air pump for a smoke daddy could I just tie that into 1 leg and...
After getting the commercial fridge I posted about a week ago and figuring out that it has foam insulation, I decided to go on the hunt for something else. Today I picked up the warmer. It has rock wool type insulation and doors on each side. Owner had a smoke daddy on it. My idea is to put an...
Hello all,
New to the forum, I have read a lot of threads on building a smokehouse.
I am in the planning stages now.
I am thinking of building a 4'x4' house that would be about 7' high.
Inside would be about 5' high.
Planning on doing 2x4 pine stud framing with cedar tongue and groove...
