New Sausage Smoker Finished

[Echomules]

Nice looking smoker!
Those plywood smokers work great! But that door most likely will warp a bit. Might want to install a couple rotating window latches that tighten, top and bottom of the door, opposite of the three hinges. Pretty cheap a lowes.

I'll bet you can't wait to see it looking like this...

Will do, heres the before pic. this weekend will be devoted to building the smoker,  making summer sausage, and drinking beer.

wow, that will make an awesome smoker.  I can smell the sausage smokin in it already!

John let me know how that propane burner works for you I may switch over if you like yours :-)

Thanks for posting that link Huey, I couldn't find the one I had.  So far that burner and regulator is awesome.  It lets me turn the heat down so low that I can't hardly even see the blue flame.  Granted it's cold out up here, but I was able to get the heat down to 110 degrees so far, so I think she will work just fine.  Thanks again Huey for all the help.

Thanks, that load of meat you have in yours sure looks good.  I did build in a internal stop on my door which is working so far with the latch I have on it.  If it does warp, i'll put another one closer to the top. That is a cool smoker you have.  What kind of burner do you have in it?

remember to season. I not a big fan of glue in plywood with my meat. I have friends that have great success with them but seasoned the heck out of them.  Nice work anyway and the peporoni looks alsome.

 I am a competitive barbq guy and smoke about any thing I can get  my hands on.
Blast and cast cooking team. And I am second hand smoke.

for the guys making the smokers. Check out The Sausage maker inc. website. Great Ideas and parts.

I would recomend spending a little more and getting a temperture controled heating element. That way you can control your temps. Either gas or elect.

I love mine. Don't have to worry if you walk away from it. I even have a pager that will warn me if temps change.

beware of the crab/turkey cookers way to much heat. An old element out of a RV stove works great also. I have made several smokers and learned from my mistakes.
 
Enjoy, Hawgdawg

I started on mine today and got 80% done . There is good sale for turkey fryers at Lowe's in Renton and getting my needle valve from Grainger ...
Thanks guys ,the plans are working like a charm ....have 40lbs of pork curing in the fridge and can't wait when is done . 1 or 2 more weeks and I'll be having smoked pork belly and shoulder 
Beancounter ,where're you at ? I can help you if you want to build one .... I'm in Renton .PM if you need help -it is not that complicated

Oh man that sounds hella fun so thanks for offering. We'd have a lot of laughs and plenty of crushed down beer cans if the directions called for them unfortunately, at least in this matter I don't live in WA right now so Ill have to man up on those instructions myself. So yall might see me posting questions on what went wrong after I set my patio on fire

Hawg, did you smoke those chanterelles?

I get it. But really, did you smoke chanterelles. How does it work out? A lot of shrink, no doubt. I sell wilds for a living. This could be popular for us if it's quality stuff.

great looking set-up, hope to post some pictures of my smoker by the end of the weekend, got side tracked today had to slaughter 2 hogs

Great setups.  I've got an old SS ice machine that I'm converting into a smoker.  Just gotta figure out how I'm going to mount rack pegs and make some hooks.
