    Dishwasher Mailbox AMNPS Mini-Smokehouse

    Again, thanks for the insight. Water good, steam not so much.  And, 212 degrees is as hot as it would get anyway.   225-300 for temperature variance is ideal. For all you Auber recommenders, I agree.  However, I've got $30 into this unit thus far.   What I do like about the Auber is the...

    Dishwasher Mailbox AMNPS Mini-Smokehouse

    So, I checked out a Kill-A-Watt meter from the library and plugged in the salvaged dishwasher element.  I started at 800 watts and after a few minutes was down to around 400.  I then hooked it into the appropriate spot in the old dishwasher and plugged in the meter and found the same thing...

    I suspected that the dishwasher element would need to be submersed.  I then wondered if it would be good to utilize the water during smoking.  In other words, what if I actually fill the smoker with 4-5" of water with the element submersed.  Then, while heating the water, I'd be steam/smoking...

    Well, I had a setback after I broke the plastic dishwasher handle.  I was able to salvage a different one from behind the appliance store.  Along with that, I grabbed the heating element as well since I had tossed the original one.  I haven't look to see what sort of wattage and restrictions it...

    Dishwasher Mailbox AMNPS Mini-Smokehouse

    Thanks Folks, I took the heating element out of the dishwasher and unfortunately, I disposed of it.  I like the idea shared about how to utilize the dishwasher element with a permanent dimmer switch. Yesterday, I damaged the handle and noticed that the frame holding the unneeded keypad was...

    Dishwasher Mailbox AMNPS Mini-Smokehouse

    Hey folks, I almost took my dishwasher to the dump a couple weeks ago. I stared at it wondering how I may reuse it. It's all stainless inside and so I decided on turning it into a smoker. I google image searched "dishwasher smokers" and found out about the mailbox trick. After taking some...
