Howdy, new guy from Louisville KY here. Originally from Phoenix AZ, I am a Christian and a welder / fabricator. My company builds life support equipment for Navy submarines.
I had a cheap Pit Boss pellet grill / smoker that I burned up a month ago, so I started searching forums for inspiration to build my own. I ended up building an 30” tall cabinet that’s 18” deep and 24” wide. It’s all 3/16” steel, laser cut by at work and welded by yours truly. It’s propane powered, and I’m working with a couple programmers at work to build a system that can monitor the flame and either relight it or shut the gas off. I took most of my inspiration from
solman
on this thread and
glenwillits
on this thread. Currently I have the cabinet finished with a couple of racks, and running with an Amazon burner and regulator. Smoke generation comes from a stainless rack I made that sits over the burner. I did successfully smoke a turkey on it, but I need to find a better solution that offers more control over the smoke. I have a needle valve, 12v solenoid valve, and an Auber Instruments SYL-3615. So next I’ll be working on that system and a safety shut off system. Thanks for lookin
