And the second smoke. Filled her up this time.perfect pepperoni sticks.

The first smoke some home made garlic and onion pork links

Well I broke down and spent some money. Ended up with a 3800w oven element. And the smd 100. I took it up to 250 for and hour, then up to 290 just to do it. It took 15 min to go from 130 to 250. I need to play with it some more to figure out perameters and how to use the controller. Still need...

Nevrsummr, I started building this because I got into making pepperoni snack sticks,summer sausage,and smoked sausage links and the bradly is way to small for the batches I make and I would spend a week smoking. I also want to start cold smoking bacon and didn't like the options for the bradly...

More pictures, smoke generator is welded in. If I were to do it again I would use thicker stainless for the inside. It warps bad.

Thanks again. Testing my smoke box, I'm planning on running this up the bottom. I might have to rethink if the Temps get too hot for cold smoking. It's big enough for 2 amnps there's one in it for testing now.

Thanks madman! I think I will be going with your recommendations. I don't know a whole lot about wireing and sizing for wattage. This is what has had me so confused on this build, I don't want to be underpowered and have to wait hours to come up to temp. So if I did 2 finned strips would they...

Well I finished welding the in side skin last night. Time to start getting serious about controller and elements. I'm torn on what to use. I've looked at finned strip heaters and a 3650 watt oven element. I don't know a lot about the strip heaters. I'm going to use the auber smd100 controller...

What would be an ideal electric element or elements for this build. Interior is approximately 47 cubic feet. I'm starting my shopping list so I have dimensions for fabrication and mounting holes.

Thanks, I figured out how to get it in there and not fall down. Two sheets to cut for the sides and a lot of welding and the inside skin will be done. Was thinking on using stainless unistrut on the sides for rack supports that would be adjustable.

I got the first section of inside skin put in tonight after work, it took a little persuading but fit pretty good, I was nervous of welding but seems to be working good.

Thank you for the warm welcomes, I look forward to being a member here. I can already tell there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum reading all the posts! I started a thread of my own in the fridge/freezer build section.

I got the insulation out and started laying the rock wool in. Hopefully I can start bending sheet metal tomorrow. Do you guys think it would be ok to use spray adhesive on the inside of the outside skin to keep the rock wool up until I get the sheet metal in and tacked in?

Hi all, I am new to the forum, I picked up a commercial freezer and started hacking the guts out of it to make a hot/cold smoker. I'm going to strip the foam insulation out of it this weekend and replace with rock wool insulation and reline the inside with 20ga 304 ss and tig weld all the seams...

Hi, my name is Eric. I am building a smoker out of a stainless steel freezer and came upon this site while researching. It would be nice to get some advice on the build and also find some new recipes and ideas. I have a bradley smoker but it has gotten a little small for me. Look forward to any...
