    What smoker should I build? Pics of Cabinet

    I just picked up this cabinet to build a smoker. Its all aluminum and I plan on welding sheets to the sides to insulate it. Want to build a smoker to use for primarily smoking wild game sausages, venison bacon, pork butts, and other meats/fish. In your opinion, what type of smoker should I...

    Turning a Pellet Grill into a cabinet smoker

    Can you elaborate as to why? Would it be because of making it larger? I know by changing my p setting on the grill I can smoke at 150 no problem. I have made hundreds of pounds of venison bacon, summer sausage, and sticks on the grill over the years.

    Turning a Pellet Grill into a cabinet smoker

    Thinking I might try building a cabinet smoker out of my pellet grill. I recently upgraded our pellet grill and have a Pit Boss 820D just sitting around. My thought is to cut the grill all the way around horizontally then weld up a 3/4" square tube frame to go on top of it and skin both sides...

    Building a Propane Smoker

    Less than $100 for that large of a smoker? Please tell me the secrets. How would I make the smoke? Here is a build I did a few years ago that was a flop. Could not get the smoker hot or to stay hot. Smoke was terrible from the smoke generators. I scrapped this build. This is why I want to go...

    Building a Propane Smoker

    I just picked up a really heavy steel cabinet that is 6' high x 4' wide x 2' deep. My build would basically be for smoking venison bacon, snack sticks, and summer sausage. Occasionally maybe some regular bacon, other sausages, and pork butts. My though was to cut the shelves out and build...

    Holy Smokes - Commercial Heater Build

    Testing smoker. Plus side I didn’t get electrocuted or burn up anything. Lol It takes longer than expected to ramp up. From 76 to 170 it took about twenty minutes to half hour. I will time it for sure once I get the real wiring done and get it set in place in the car port. Got the 2 smoke...

    Pid wiring question

    Would this be ok on the block? Hot going in with jumper going to next spot. Other side will go to SSR and and other side of jumper will go to 110 outlets. Then on the SSR the out contains wire for element and indicator light. Would that work? PID and lights are both going to be wired 110

    Pid wiring question

    TC will be going through a grommet that I already have the box drilled for. 110v outlets are only there for air pump on generators. If cold smoking I will just plug them into to the regular outlet in the car port. Indicators are just lights not switches. Only switch now is a 2 pole 25a breaker.

    Pid wiring question

    Thanks, that helps. My switch and main indicator are one unit. Its an illuminated switch but the concept should be the same.

    Pid wiring question

    Auber told me not to use a breaker. Just the power on/off switch. so this would be updated diagram. All components are rated for 240v. I have them all at my house already.

    Pid wiring question

    How does this look for wiring? I am a little confused on the ON off switch and indicator lights. I have asked Auber for help. It looks like the switch needs 2 wires.
