    Ribs...PlayOff Hockey.. and Me.... QVIEW

    High or Low Pressure...? Can we finally get the record straight ?

    my target temp for gas I guess would be 180 to 225. I could/and do use an electric element for smoking sausage. I do have an external smoke gernerator similar to an oversized smoke daddy. I have not found anyone that can point me in the right direction for the correct burner, I think it...

    High or Low Pressure...? Can we finally get the record straight ?

    I will probably end up buying an afterburner rig because of the safety problems I am having. Side grill burner with a low pressure regulator and valve (same grill) works great wide open, but still have to watch the way you close the smoker door, It is a well sealed unit, but the air input...

    Project Fridge

    That looks like the same element that I am using. I picked up the whole electric BBQ grill all WalMart at the end of the season. I think that will be fine. I think it is rated at 1500 watts. You may want to add some heat sinks help hold in some heat as well. I know some folks use plain...

    The "How-to" for making an Arduino controlled smoker

    One of the problems I have with my PID controller is that it is constantly "cycleing" on and off and I cant figure out how to make a larger swing. I am afraid that the contant cyleing to keep it at a low temp will burn out the element. I am still playing around with vents and fans and such...

    Need Labels printed, suggestions?

    I have seen labels that you can buy by the sheet at office supply stores that you can run through an ink jet or laser printer. If you don't have a good color printer usually they are set up to print stuff for you if you bring them in a disk with the artwork. I use to travel a lot and have to...

    High or Low Pressure...? Can we finally get the record straight ?

    Gary I am working on a "home brew" model, so I really did not "modify" anything. I have a number of low pressure regulators, a number of different burners, etc. Not meaning to hijack this thread, I think there is a few that are building smokers. I for one consider safety as a first. I...
