    Element wiring help!!!

    Yes I do have that. And I ordered some 8 ga. High temp oven wire. One thing about this element is there is no ground, just 2 terminals. Will this be ok? The element sits slightly off the bottom of the smoker on small ceramic spacers.

    Element wiring help!!!

    Hey guys, got my smoker built about 3 months ago! Got my father in law to put in a 220v outlet outside and got the Pid wired to that after about 3 months of asking lol!

    propane/electric smoker vents?

    I'm thinking of using a fin strip heater with a pid attached to it. What kind of temps do you think I should expect with a unit like this? https://m.grainger.com/mobile/product/TEMPCO-Finned-Strip-Heater-2MXF5?fc=MWP2IDP2PCP

    propane/electric smoker vents?

    Ok so it's been awhile since I've posted on this thread! I decided to go with electric only. Plan on putting one slider vent on the bottom front and 3 slider vents near the top. Will this work or would it be better to put a stack on it? I have the frame welded together and the inside put...

    hey all! I need some suggestions on summer sausage

    I added 12oz. Of water to the mix for a 15# batch. That's what the recipe I used called for. Maybe my thermometer is a little out of wacky cause it sure rendered most of the fat and shrunk away from the casings. Guess I'll just have to get my smoker finished so I won't have to worry about it!

    propane/electric smoker vents?

    I know they are spendy but if im bUilding something nice might as well go all out. Yes those vents are arched, I have a green egg and that's where I got the idea from! I'm sure you could flatten them and rivet them in place don't ya think?
