    Daves Smokehouse....Part 9 Test Runs

    Great progress, and great to see your hitting your goal temps now.  I've got the bottom of mine insulated and I've just got a single 1.5" pipe in the bottom as an air vent ... at first I was concerned it would not be enough but the AMNPS seems to be working fine for me.

    Another Smoke House Build

    Put the PID in a weatherproof enclosure. Going to smoke again this weekend.

    My first attempt at some ribs ... Baby Back. Going to throw on some chicken at the 3 hour mark.

    Another Smoke House Build

    I think there is enough air space between the AMNPS and the element that it won't effect it much. Right now, I have a pie pan full of pea gravel to provide some thermal mass between the two ... I'm also thinking of replacing the pie pan with a piece of ceramic tile.

    Another Smoke House Build

    Found a folding campfire grill that fits perfect over the element, that's what the AMNPS will sit on now.

    Another Smoke House Build

    Ya ... I thought the same thing, but I had already used all the left over siding I had on my smoker build (left over from my shed build - that's sort of what prompted the smoke house build).  My next big project is a stone patio with built in fire pit ... Hope to start and finish that project...

    Another Smoke House Build

    Yep, totally understand ... I enjoy planning and building projects myself versus buying them.  My wife's work requires her to be out of town twice a year 10-12 weeks at a time, so that's when I get to work on MY projects - makes the time go by faster too ;)

    Another Smoke House Build

    Yep, you'll definitely want the SYL-2352P ... I think you might be surprised at how much heat the element can put out - I'm sure I could get over 300F if I wanted in my smoker.  If it doesn't put out enough in the winter for sausage and jerky, I'd think you might just get away with building a...

    Another Smoke House Build

    I ended up switching to the SYL-2352P - which allows programmable steps ... At some point I'm planning on programming common "profiles" and I would then just jump to the appropriate starting step for that profile - I could imagine these profiles could be cold smoking vs hot smoking, chicken vs...

    I don't know, it's a 3-prong plug so you'd just want to use a gauge that can comfortably handle 1500 watts. I don't thing it's a high temp cord because its made so the cord would exit at the bottom of the smoker.

    Are you referring to the wire gauge?

    Another Smoke House Build

    I ended up only putting a single 16x16" tile under the element kit. I had to cut a square on one end of the tile for the element cord and one square on the other side for the air vent. This element kit  comes with a round sheet metal plate with a support platform that the element sits on, so...

    Another Smoke House Build

    I'm pretty sure I could get the smoker over 300 if I wanted ;) I use the digital temp gauge to display the internal meat temperature with a second temperature sensor. The red round thing is a lighted alarm that I have wired to the PID ... not sure I'd need it, but its there if I do. I don't...
