Hi,

I live in central New York state and am interested in smoking (hot & cold), sausage making, and curing and smoking bacon and ham. I raise enough pigs for our own use and to sell some pork locally. Needless to say most of the bacon stays here! I have had a Pitts & Spits offset pipe smoker for 10 years or so and have made some pretty good Q with it. The problem is it is big and not insulated. It uses a lot of wood to keep at temperature when it is anything other than hot outside, especially when the wind is blowing. It is also difficult to keep at a stable temperature. I am looking into buying or building an insulated RF cabinet smoker for cooking and for hot smoking my bacon and hams. That's all for now.

I live in the town of Root in Montgomery County, about 40 miles west of Albany. It is a chilly 28 degrees and I'm going to attempt to smoke some bacon and ham in my Pitts & Spits. I'll be shooting for 250 degrees. We'll see how it goes.
