Looks good Kingdemo...   I see that your vent must have been an offset from the back burner too...  i don't know why they changed them...   They used to come straight up through the middle of the right rear element - would make for a much smoother install...   I have a schematic for it now -...

OK, ...thankyou for that real time feed back....    I've been a member of too many forums...   (because I feel that the best info comes from real people talking..)    But , boy do I wish that there was an understood standard for fora.....    I will check into it and find the  "block" ... it...

And then.... Back to addressing the issue of serviceability for the smoke box...  I had an unused tool box sitting around, and it seemed to be about the right size, config, and price to test out a different angle towards making the tending and refill tasks a bit easier.   Here's a couple of bad...

About this time, the PID showed up.  It was a bit confusing tring to decypher all of the timers, safety switches, etc. as far as where to jump-in and place the relay for the element as there are a ton of wires and crap going on - and I hadn't found the scematic at that point.   But, I did end up...

Thanks to some good information and research from this forum, I checked into PIDs and ordered a cheap amazon PID and relay for the temp issue... Which left me time to try and adress the smoke side of things.... In  an effort to actually find the flash point and smoldering temp of the woods - I...

Wich brought me to my first mock-up of the temporary set-up to understand the general concept of where i was going... some wheels, temp. adjustable support for smoke chamber, etc... ...And , a bit later, to my first run through to see if it even had a chance in hell of actually working..  Put...

At this point, I still thought that the tank would work, so I set to moved forward on dealing with the exhaust issue.. It was my intention to use this unit year-round and due to the cold weather, that meant trying to be able to use it inside in the winter...   I have an "older" shop that is...

Probably should have taken more pics as I was doing this, but, I didn't have a real clear path or plan.  Most of this was just " shooting from the hip " , see what would happen, and fix or fab from that point and move forward.... This was early on , and I was still figuring out my basic...

If I were going to add a fan to the inside of my smoker...  I would probably keep it as simple as possible and only put the components that actually HAD to be in the chamber, in there, due to heat , smoke, and kreosote.    In this case - it would be a blade and a shaft... The general concept...

Thanks. I had to wait for my stuff to pass thru channels before I could respond.. if  this works - it's a quick look at the general layout of the unit, although it has gone through some changes since this time..

Had ran through this site awhile ago and bookmarked it..  then, finally got around to making my new smoker and came back and joined a few weeks ago.   First, thanks for a good resource - has been helpful to read. I'm in Northwest Ohio. Up on the "North Coast"    - hence, JHOLE , Jeff Here On...
