Making a Smoker, Any Ideas
« on: October 25, 2015, 12:34:22 PM »
I haven't even started yet, so any ideas are good. I've looked on line, but would like to be able to hear feed back on how yours turned out, things you would change if you were to do it again, etc. Thanks

I built one out of an old Hotpoint refrigerator.  It works great.  This was one of the models that had a clamping door that shuts very tight.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Corporal Raines. I have to tip my hat to you handy people. How much does the use of wood for the main chamber affect the flavor imparted to the food being smoked?

Once you get a few smokes in it to season the wood, it is pretty much the same as my big chief was.

Look through the cooking section. There are a couple of threads by kckracker on building your own that might assist you.

insulation insulation is really the thing I would do different. That would be adding. The racks would be 8 to 10 inches apart instead of 6. Other than that she's a keeper.
 
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.
