Homemade dish cart smoker

[rswjr07]

Hey guys just wanted to share my most recent build. So happy with how this came out! It started out life as a dish cart in a local restaurant. Initially I wanted it to run on electric but on my initial run with jerky, I was not satisfied with the taste, so I went to smoke daddy and got a pellet pro hopper. This thing is a beast now!

Nice set up. That PelletPro should heat it up just fine, what did you use for a heat deflector over the fire pot? Chimney?

Well because I originally had this set up for electric I had to drill more inlet and outlet holes. The dampers for top will be here tomorrow

For a trial run I did a simple stuffed banana pepper with cheese at 225. Did great after some modification. I had drill a couple more inlet holes. Smoke daddy said it was too well insulated for pellet and it had to breath. Once they were drilled, it's holding steady!

Got all the bugs worked out! This thing held strong for 6 hours. Never missed a beat and held temps plus or minus 4 degrees at 165° 20 lbs of raw, over 10 lbs finished
