5Oaks Smoker Build
Bird is out!! And resting.... Corn and Potatoes did really well, they were in the whole time, corn was on a wire rack over a pan half full of water, so it didn't dry out!! Overall a huge success, still have a few small adjustments to make, and seams to seal, but I think its close enough that I...- 5oakssmoker

Pig roaster rental
Check out a China Box Pig Roaster, its basically a plywood box lined with SS, and on wheels, you put the hog on the rack, close the lid, and cover the lid with charcoal... we have one that we use every year for the last 5 or 6 years.- 5oakssmoker

5Oaks Smoker Build
The CC is a little over 4ft tall, the wall therm is in the middle, so the probe I put would have been at least 20" higher, since the vents aren't completely at the top, I'm guessing its a little of both as far as the wall therm not being 100% accurate, and the normal heat rising effect in the...- 5oakssmoker

Ready for a test smoke!! Still have to finish the racks and drip pan, but she's ready to fire up, and check for leaks.... Nice smoke coming out the top, had some left over charcoal from my last bbq, bag had been sitting outside, so it was a lil damp, took a while to get burning good, but...- 5oakssmoker

5Oaks Smoker Build
Good News, Bad News... Good News - Got all the outside trim in place, built the roof and got it in place, built the bottom door and its slide rails. So getting close. Bad News - When I attached the roof, I must have tweaked the cabinet, now the doors won't close all the way lol, I did have a...- 5oakssmoker

I really don't even know where to start with turning this proofer into a smoker......
I just had the funny thought of putting pins on the side, and a bracket half way up the back, so you could back your tractor up and pick it up and move it with the 3pt hitch lol. The door looks like you could use the rock wool insulation and then just welt or screw down a sheet of metal to...- 5oakssmoker

I thought about the back, but I would have to drill through an insulated wall to do that, the front is 1 1/2" thick solid wood frame at the top plate there, I can drill through it and not worry about having to seal it somehow to keep smoke from going places I don't want it to. I will probably...- 5oakssmoker

Competition Smoking on a propane smoker?? Is it done??
I sense its probably more of a logistics/safety issue. We all know you can't effectively run an electric smoker on a long drop cord, can you imagine trying to go to a fairground and set up 40 or maybe 100 electric smokers... the people down the line would be at a disadvantage from those closer...- 5oakssmoker

Dave I have a quick question, before I get the roof on, and its harder to drill the holes, I currently have (9) 3/4" holes in the top, that I can adjust with the cork plugs, is that going to be enough to draw the heat/smoke up? or should I go ahead and put 2 more 1" or 1 1/4" holes in the top...- 5oakssmoker

Got the top rail in for the dowel rods for hanging meat, also got the side rails in for my racks, and got started on my FB door today, its starting to come together. Roof, trim, racks, and FB door and I'll be ready for a test smoke.- 5oakssmoker

What group should I use?
A lot of guys on here have had smoke houses with a similar size and reach temps of 250 degrees with the 1500 watt dual burner hot plates, a lot depends on the insulation of the CC and how long of a cord you use for the hot plate.- 5oakssmoker

CC = Cooking Chamber FB = Fire Box/Heat Element/Burner - Basically the area where the heat comes from, some are inside, some are external, some are even separate and only connected with ducting. Mailbox = This usually means an actual mailbox or similar device for that AMNS smoke tray or tube...- 5oakssmoker

Insulation would depend on how well it is already insulated, I'm assuming is has 'some' insulation in the walls because it was used to proof bread. Assuming you scrap the aluminum controls and go with an electric burner of some sort, you can use the space where the old controls are (purple) to...- 5oakssmoker
