building my own smoker
« on: August 28, 2015, 08:53:30 PM »
gotta upgrade from my big chief. So far I am only a little over $100 into new material. The rest I had laying around the house. The exterior cedar is fence boards I had alongside my shed and planed down. Bought a used jenair cooktop for 30 bucks that I modified. Still have to do the vent, wheels and finish the wiring.

That's a fine looking smoker... what are you going to season it with?

Bought a used Jenair 4 burner cooktop and modified it. Using two of the burners. Cut and fabbed the cooktop enclosure to fit in the bottom of the smoker.
