    is a lot of grease smoke bad?

    Thanks Deltadude and others. I have a 'burner control' switch, the kind every electric range uses. I need to wire it up and will probably set it at about 50%. Thanks for keeping me safe! That rheostat will  be wired up before I use it again, and I'll get some pictures up, too.

    is a lot of grease smoke bad?

    That was one of those, "oh crap" middle-of smoking posts.  I will have to improve my smoker a little bit. I need to put a tray under the burner, between it and the bottom of the smoker. And I have a burner control switch I will have to wire up. That'll run the element at 60-70%. Probably closer...

    is a lot of grease smoke bad?

    Well I finally got my electric smoker built. The camera isn't behaving so pics can wait. My smoker uses a 2100 watt stovetop element, and I use a regular oven thermostat with it.  Question is: The smoker is doing a lot of sizzling, and it looks like all the grease hitting the bottom of the...

    Chip tray or smoke generator

    Thanks, Todd. I'm still in the planning stages, but I like your product.  My first smoker I built without planning so good. It doesen't work as well as I'd hoped. I might be buying my heating element and thermostat from a discount appliance parts store. I figure I could save a few hundred $$...

    Chip tray or smoke generator

    I like those maze smokers. No moving parts I'm still planning my build, but I like the idea of a sealed smoker, like a Cookshack. Keep the moisture, heat and smoke inside.

    Chip tray or smoke generator

    Hi folks. I'm thinking about doing a build very similar to a fridge build. Four racks, vertical, smoking at 225 deg. F. For the heat, I'm going to buy a 220V 2100 watt element from Allied Kenco. And I'll also buy their prewired thermostat. My question is... with the heating element turning on...

    Burners for gas grill build?

    I know it sounds like a silly question, but I looked everywhere. I want a couple of pipe burners with the valves and ignitors for a homebuilt brick grill.

    Burners for gas grill build?

    I want to build my own gas grill and I'm having trouble finding the right gas burners online. Does anyone know a good place to buy BBQ grill type gas burners? Maybe pipe burners?

    Concrete smoker - anyone done it?

    I built a concrete smoker with AAC blocks, or Hebel blocks. It's extremely well insulated and effecient, and I'd recommend this material to anyone.

    My first Pork Butt. With Qview

    Thanks for the QView. I'm gearing up to do my first butt in the next week or two, and this kind of post inspires me. Glad to hear that a little higher temp worked out well, too.
