Too simple to talk about?

I've got it!

You could use a dryer. The exhaust vent could be where the smoke comes in and you could have the drum spinning after it hits 165 and then it would come out already pulled.

Or you could use one of the apartment style washer dryer combos with them washer on bottom and dryer on top. The washer could be the fire box and then you could have the dryer be the cooking chamber. That would actually work.

OK... but when that GFI trips..you better come up with a "deadman" circuit so ya know ya ain't smoking anymore ;{)

<PS.. I have a design already heh!>

Here's the I built for doing sausage, it's made out of a warming oven. I have it in my garage, vented to the outside so I can use it rain or shine.

The reason for the multiple elements and controllers (other than the fact that I can) is due to keeping the chamber temperature constant and/ or cold. When chamber temperatures reach my desired level, the chips/ lumps will still have an element to keep the smoke going. By the same token, if I want to cold smoke, the chip element is far enough away to send cool smoke, and I don't run the chamber element at all. I can maintain about 90F on an average day. I am now experimenting with a few lumps of charcoal in the smoke section along with my wood chunks. I start the whole thing with the electric element and then the charcoal takes over and the temp controller shuts off the juice. Burns longer and more evenly.

Like I said, rock on with your vision.

And BTW- I have every woodworking power tool known to man... and two or three of some of them.

Is the square box on the bottom behind the lower left door the smoke/heat generator? How does it work? Is it electric? And is that an exhaust fan motor I see at the top of the cabinet connecting to the outgoing duct? Is there a need for more airflow than simple convection will provide?

Thanks for the explanation. I like it, it seems really well thought out. Does it work as well as it sounds like it should?
