I just purchased a roughly 4 foot by 2 foot by 30 inches deep stainless warming cabinet. The entire unit, inside and out is stainless steel. It is uninsulated. I placed a burner it in this morning and in 36 degree weather it never broke 135 degree's. Here is what I would ideally like to do and need your help with suggestions and/or links. Here goes:
I plan on building a wood cabinet to place the stainless one in so that I can insulate it. I already own an external smoke creator so no problem there. I would like to be able to control the electric heating elements with a digital controller. In other words, I want to set the temps and simply forget about it. I've read that there are some burners that have a blower attachment to it that allows better control as well as heat output?
Also, how thick of insulation do you think I would need? I can build the cabinet to whatever specifications I need to. I do want this to hold temps very well. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
