Wooden smoker

[foamheart]

if you are serious, I would look at this brinkman replacement. Its 1500 watts. 
You can probably pick up a brinkman analog, I have three old analog smokers and they all work fine.

These are only 1250 watts, but right there is the plug in controllers.  http://www.oldsmokey.com/collections/parts/electric-smoker

That's just with a quick 5 mins search. BUT I would definitely look for a min. of 1500Watts. I am doubting the 1200 would make you happy.

Well I got her all finished up, ended up going with propane instead of electric. Lowest temp was 145, and highest was 325. I'll be seasoning it and experimenting with the heat and smoke tomorrow.

Thank you, I hope so too. The fire box is layered with sheet metal and tile, should be enough to keep it from going up in smoke...I hope. The tiles in the bottom were cool to the touch while the temperature in the top section hovered around 250.

That is a nice compact looking burner. What are the specifics on it?

Your smoker looks awesome, by the way.

Nice looking smoker. For safeties sake I'd replace the tiles with fire brick. Also make sure you have a good drip pan containment device between the open flame and the meat. A grease fire would burn your smoker down. A friend had that happen to his.

Thank you. The burner is out of a camp chef, 30,000 btu's. Sounds like overkill but it actually works out just right. I seasoned and experimented with it today and I was able to control the heat very well, I was able to keep it as low as 120 with just adjusting the dampers, and was able to quickly heat it, within about 5 minutes, to 250. I am very pleased with the setup.

Thank you, for the smoke I have a grate that sits just above the burner for a chip pan and water pan to sit on. I also have a secondary firebox that is ducted into the side of the lower portion for cold smoking. Still working.

Nice looking smoker. Always felt that there is nothing better than a wood smoker.I have two wooden houses and wouldn't trade them.

Okay that is cool! Is the antler a handle or latch? Any more pictures of it all finished and in use?

Thanks, It's just a handle, it has 3 cam lock latches that pull the doors in tighter the more you turn the latches.
