    Will this element work?

    Right now I have a small electric LEM smoker. I make alot of snack sticks and can only get 15# of sticks (on the grates) of the smoker. I'd like to be able to do 40-50# at a time. My small smoker slows down my operation. I was thinking of one out of wood at 30"x30" by about 5' tall with a gas...

    Thinking about making a small wooden smoker out of plywood. Probly use jerky racks for the racks. Maybe large enough for 8 racks. Will be making snack sticks and sausage. Will this heating element survive being inside the smoker at 180-200* temps?

    I see what you mean. Makes sense. The food I smoke tastes fine. I may try the 5x8 tray sometime.

    This is my smoker. Basic small, electric burner on the bottom, damper on the top. I drilled about a dozen small holes thru the bottom for an air inlet and set my amazen 6" tube above the holes, damper wide open. This picture is what my smoke always looks like, even a little thicker white than...

    And the great thing about doing sticks this way is you don't have to worry about the meat getting too stiff for a small stuffing tube. I use a 5/8 in. ID stuffing tube.

    Thanks! Nepas' recipe is really good. Everyone I give them to love them. They think I'm a super duper snack stick maker! I really like them without casings.
