Update: well not really an update, haven't had time to work on it. Will be in town for awhile now (fire alarm install on old school) but the hours kinda suck. Anyway, burnt the collars once. Thought I saw a hint of galvanized on them. Been either windy or raining here so haven't had a chance to burn them a second time. seems clear today, may get that chance today..The project continues.........:D
Finally had time to work on the new smoker. With the 1100 watt burner it held at 178*. By adding the 800* watt burner, it's up to 191*. Probably need more venting. Only have 1 (1 1/2) hole in it so the cords can pass thru. There has been consistant Thin Blue Smoke
