    Commercial SS Fridge Build: My First Try

    There is a chance that the foam could give off gas or fumes when it gets hot. I have also heard of it starting on fire when exposed to higher temps. From the advice I have found on here I decided to be safe and use rock wool and I am glad I did. I used Thermafiber UltraBatt 3.5" x 24" x 48" R-15...

    Pops6927's Wet Curing Brine

    Some one smarter than me will reply but from what I have experienced with Pop's as long as you rinse well and do a fry test before smoking all should be fine. If it is to salty on the fry test it will need to be soaked more in cold water and rinsed maybe even overnight or longer. If you followed...

    Pops6927's Wet Curing Brine

     Hey Pop's: I can't thank you enough for the brine! Everything I make turns out GREAT. When you do turkeys say 12 to 14 pounds, how long do you leave them in? I read your post from a few years ago and I think I got 3 days or is it 4? Will a longer time make it to salty or will it only take in...

    Freezer too big?

    Well after 5 months it is done and smoking and I couldn't be happier. Except for buying the wrong contacter every thing came together very nicely. The first smoke was ribs that were OK but needed more smoke. The next was Canadian Bacon that turned out great. I am doing a beef roast today...

    Freezer too big?

    I just got my PIDs and other parts from Auber's. I went with a 5300 watt element that PappaPig recommended. You can see the link in this thread http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/164876/looking-for-sugestions#post_1199413    I built the chimney part with a draft today and I still have to fit the...

    looking for sugestions

    I am looking at gaskets for the doors and need just under 30 ft. http://www.bbqgaskets.com  has black nomex Fire Black125 or nomex /super 77. The better choice looks like the nomex option they sell for the Big Green Egg. Those kits are 15 ft. and run about $15 x 2 $30 plus shipping. Checking the...

    Thanks JckDanls, That clears up A LOT. I also looked up how they work and now I get it. I posted a photo above so you can get an idea, not sure why it's a download. But anyway it is lined with 18 ga stainless with aluminum diamond grid on floor,ceiling and inside of the doors. It all came down...

    looking for sugestions

    I have been looking at the PIDs from Auberon but didn't see one that would handle that kinda of wattage. I'm sure there is one out there I just haven't dug deep enough to find it yet. I saved some more stainless from shredder this morning and got a pretty good deal on it.Thanks for all your...

     Is receptical plug in part available for it, what I mean the receptacle  thing the coils plug into? Have you looked at controllers? I seen these at http://www.etcsupply.com/   Do you plan on using a smoke generator or something like an Amazin tube?

    looking for sugestions

    Thanks Pappa Pig.Those may work. From the research I've been doing I will need between 5000 and 6000 watts and it looks like I will have to have more than 1 element. Sausage maker has a 5000 watt kit but it's controller tops out at 250 degrees. It is also drawing in outside air continuously...

    I now have the unit lined and am ready for heat. I would like to use electric and maybe an Amazen smoke generator. Anyone have any suggestions? It measures right at 40 cubic feet.

    Hello All!!

    ​I have been checking out this forum for awhile and decided to sign in. I am building a commercial size smoker from an old double door SS freezer and will need lots of advice. I have cooked for years on a Texas style pit smoker I built years ago after seeing the Lyfe Tyme smokers at the Mn...

    Freezer too big?

    ​Thanks Pork Dork: That has crossed my mind and a way to par it down is a great idea. I do cook for large groups and do up to a hundred Canada goose and snow goose breasts at a time. I have been confined to my pit smoker for years and struggled with the lack of space.I am early in this build and...
