Do you have: Electric Hot Smoker Build Plans Including Measuremnts

[trapper1]

I am new to smoking. I have knowledge of carpentry, tools, materials. I have seen many people posting their projects with really awesome pics- but I am hoping to find someone that has exact plans with measurements that I can follow. Anyone aware of someone with plans like this? I would use an electric element for heat. I live in SW PA, so I would be insulating it, I assume.

look in the electric smoker section hers onehttps://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/new-electric-smoker-build.293724/

Thank you. That one takes a fridge unit and converts it to a great smoker. I rather want plans for a wood constructed smoker, that includes design and measurements.

i don't think u would want to build a hot smoker from wood
but idk for sure . most use wood contruction for cold smoking

i found this it is not for wood but still interesting probably use some of the information and do a wood frame. and cover it with something else. https://electricsmokerhub.com/how-to-build-electric-smoker/
there is one for a clay pot that looked interesting.
i did find a you tube video on a wooden one. i did not watch it

You may want to get a copy of this book. It will answer all your questions and save you lots of headaches.

I have heard of that book. I'll try to find a copy. I imagine there must be someone on the forum that made a hot smoker that kept records of their design, including measurements.

I hope you find what you're looking for. I would love to see pics of your build.

 

[trapper1]

Thanks. I am trying to learn as much as possible before building. I assumed someone would have a design I could copy.

Is it ok to use plywood for the interior of a Hot Smoker?

I wouldn't. Who knows what kind of fumes and out gassing you will get with a plywood.

If you are using wood, I would go with hardwood boards. Possibly tongue and groove boards.

T trapper1 have you read through this thread? This looks like a killer smoker and I think you could adapt some of his design into building one!
