I am getting ready to start building myself a multi fuel smoker.I just got my fat little paws on a bunch of sheet metal scrap from work.I am thinking that I would like to be able to use electric, propane or on the rare occasion that I have time to play with it wood.I found a source for the burner for the propane.( I believe it is a site sponsor).My thoughts are that the electric components will come from an electric stove unless Cheech can train me in doing a controller like his.I am a fabricator :) but my electrical knowledge not so good :cry: I am looking for some input as far as insulation and if there is any advantage to having a hip or slant style roof vs a flat roof.I realize for most manufactured units the flat roof is most likely a result of the bean counters holding the cost down.As I look at the sites for the custom manufacturers I see a lot of the slanted or hip style roofs.I am figuring approximate inside size of 40"x40" or wherever the steel leads me.Height inside roughly 40-60".I havent sorted thru the skid of steel yet but looking at it leads me to believe that this size is possible.Also has anyone ever had any smokers with a teflon type coating on the inside.I will be building the racks from stainless so I am not held down to any specific size due to having to use manufactured racks.If there is any interest I will to a pictoral history as I go.Any input is welcomed as I know there is a wealth of knowledge on this site!
