Hi everyone, I have been very busy with building a new smoker, wood structure, PID controlled, electric assisted, because the old Bullet bit the dust and I returned it to its Maker.

Size is 50x50x120cm, opening roof, on hinges, on the bottom is a fan assisted round resistance 2000w that blows heat around and is vertically mounted.

It works beautifully 😍 with the PID, so far I only did setup test runs to tweak the PID.
Still one thing I didn't solve yet is the place for the temp probe. On the bottom, it was showing 20⁰C less than on the top. So I think the best place is near the top, (3/4) just based on the tests I did.
The electronics box is open because I didn't mount the probe yet in its permanent p.ace
The PID is XMT-7100 and only shows inside temperatures, I would have preferred Rex c100 but that's what I had since long.
Thanks for looking and any advice is appreciated.
Have nice evening

It looks great, and nice workmanship.
Since you are using an electric heat source, be sure to protect it from any dripping fat from meat/sausages.
With it being constructed from wood, any grease fire inside the smoker would be potentially catastrophic.

Thanks 😊 processhead processhead , appreciate your comment, I must confess that you were a decisive influence with your thread on pork belly 😀 (I looked up your gear), with precise timing and results I couldn't manage, because the bullet was not very controllable and paint (on the inside) was peeling off like crazy. Poisonous...
I'll definitely watch the fire hazard thing...
However I have to smoke a belly soon, to see how it really works.
Have great day 😀
