Another new guy here!
Just joined today, I use a PK Original typically and I'm from Minnesota. I know what you're thinking how does a PK end up in Minnesota? Well I went to College in Little Rock AR. So mystery solved. I do own other grills, just prefer my PK Original.
Joined because I'm doing UDS research as my wife and daughter bought me a Old Smokey Electric Smoker for Christmas, and through the research I've been able to find this thing is basically a meat steamer. Now I love my wife and daughter and I know they ment well, as I always prefer to buy American made products and the Old Smokey is an American made smoker that was in the budget and her mother actually did the research to insure it was American made. But I don't need a meat steamer.
So enter my bright idea. The Old Smokey Electric Smoker (OS ES from here on out) is basically a drum. I was planning to build a drum smoker this summer any way.. So I guess my winter project is going to be building the worlds first Old Smokey Electric Ugly Drum Smoker.
Or at least I think it will be, I know someone here put the element from an old redi smok into a 30 gal drum but as far as I could tell it was the same basic design as the original except that it was in a new drum. No top or bottom vent so it was still a meat "steamer" as far as I could tell.
I've all the parts on order. A top vent, thermometer, wood chip smoker box, and I'm a gas fitter by trade so I have ready access to the rest of the parts I'll need.
Wish me luck and thanks for having me!
