    Clove in the smoking wood?

    I just thawed some dark meat Turkey I smoked Feb 9th which is very enjoyable. The turkey was brined in a holiday season brine so it has hints of orange, clove, apple and so on which made me think why not add some cloves to the wood in the smoker for such things as ham, fish, turkey and chicken...

    Hey, Mr. Wizard?

    Thanks Stovebolt! Great point! Yep all is good to go for the 220, 100 or 120 hertz or how ever you might like to phase or phrase it. The power factor will be far more friendly when the monthly bill comes around too. The bad deal is the expense of the romex, boxes, receps, cover plates (one in...

    Hey, Mr. Wizard?

    I just couldn't bring myself to hack up a nice hot plate like the Waring that showed up today. From what I seen when I burned off the machine oils I'd think it would work for a small smoker though. I did pull it apart and it is built nothing like the lower end jobs I had seen in the past, it has...

    Hey, Mr. Wizard?

    Hi Bud, I've tested a Presto deep fat fryer that had a 450 F degree rheostat and it didn't bring a 18"x18"x31" smoker enclosure up to smoking temperatures.

    Hey, Mr. Wizard?

    Old Murphy, me and his relatives gotta quit meeting like this! I spent weeks looking everywhere I could think of looking for materials to go electric with my smoker and today on Craigslist this pops up in the free listings and everything works on it. Got me some fine materials for my next smoker...

    Hey, Mr. Wizard?

    Ive decided to avoid any potential issues and go with the previously post 50 to 525 F thermostat controlling the hot plate. This means 86ing the hot plate controls all together. If anyone has interest in doing this be very aware of the exposed electrical terminals on the thermostat, you could...

    Hey, Mr. Wizard?

    Cool, thanks Chuck! I'm sure the element was done for on the last burner I had. It might be a little tight fitting the burner under the ECB, the interior height of my insulating box is only about an inch taller than the metal box. Being the issues sometimes had with the controls exposed to...

    Hey, Mr. Wizard?

    Thanks again Chuck! Way to getter done! I just pulled the trigger on the Waring and all there is to do is wait until it gets here. I figure I have a fair amount of time before the turkey is thawed and than it brines for a day and another 15 or so hours before it goes in the smoker. My next...
