    Homemade Smoker

    Being that its a wood box and you have not put a insulating barrier between the heat and wood. You would be strongly advised not to get the inside temp very hot. The heat will delaminate the plywood glue, it could also add fumes to your cooking area that you do not want.  Insulation is only good...

    Smoker build

    Pellet Pro makes hopper attachments for the UDS barrels. It manages heat like electric while burning wood pellets. Just an idea you can think about too.

    Smoker mods

    I have had no doubt you could do that. It was never a question about turning out good smoked meats. I only said the amount of work you did was far more then what others put into the same cook. I have used said pits back when I got started. I only state what is known truth, to that BBQ. As said...

    Pellet Smoker Fridge Conversion

    With a insulated fridge they heat control is tough to maintain with a pellet burner, because they have a minimum pellet feed rate. Having a upper exhaust and a lower vent control allows you to draw and cooler air to help regulate your temperatures through the PID controller.

    This is where it starts. You will be able to do things with this, but you will always have your battles doing so. Keep in mind its a 100 dollar smoker grill. It was made for the budget minded person to give you a taste of smoked foods. The big cooks will takes a lot of tending and you may never...

    want to build a small CHEAP vertical, reverse flow cabinet style smoker

    Trying to keep to a 200$ budget and get insulated... Well then here is what I suggest... Find a local auction company that will be selling old school items and restaurant items. When the schools upgrade their kitchens or they close down a restaurant the items are often sent to auction. Getting a...

    want to build a small CHEAP vertical, reverse flow cabinet style smoker

    What do you mean limited budget? That's a pretty vague term. Are you limited to 100$ or limited to 1500$ To me limited budget on a smoker is going to keep you to the UDS. But with some shopping around you might find something like I found at a auction for 17.50$. I have posted that build here as...

    Pellet Smoker Fridge Conversion

    If you add more air venting into the bottom you can get your temps down for doing fish or salmon. I have just built a pellet smoker from insulated warmer box. Had to install 2 vents to get more draft going. I can get low temps now. Before with 1 vent it was like yours 225-230 temps were as low...

    My new smokehouse

    I would take the fire out of your smoke house and have it feed the heat and smoke into it. For some reason I can see this house if not watched closely becoming like this picture.
