I was going to purchase a PK100 electric smoker, but I acquired a vintage Refrigerator that I would like to convert to the same style smoker. It will mostly be for making Snack Sticks, summer sausage, and Jerky so a low set point 120°f-140°f would be ideal, and I would also like to do normal smoking Temps, I would never go above 275°f . I have an idea of what I need, and what I need to do, but I figured I would ask for advise so I do not waste time and money. How do I figure out what size element to use, what PID to get, and is there anything else I should do or get to make this as efficient as a commercial smoker like the PK100?
