    Can you use Galvinized metal inside your smoker?

    I have heard many things about galvanized stuff, and have read a lot about it in the process of building my new smoker, and I guess my advice would be not to risk it. If you go to any steel shop, they would probably sell you some scrap pieces that would work fine for dirt cheap. I made a smoke...

    The New Project Frigidaire

    You two have really helped me a lot out here too, both with recipes, and building tips. Thanks for the kudos. I am just burning to go back to wisconsin, where the smoker is living now (until it is done), and finish it and make that first batch. Once we have a successful run at it, I'm making...

    How to build a fridge smoker

    Hi Mulepackin, I see that you have a smoke daddy on the side of your smoker. Is the purpose of that primarily for cold smoking?? Would it work to have that as the only source for your smoke?? I am not familiar with the smoke daddies or how they work othere than they say you can light the...

    I'll be smokin INSIDE this winter!

    OMG, that is an awesome idea. Might be a good idea to put another piece of pipe on that and get it out past the eves. I think that vent might stain your siding. Anyhow, i'm really jealous. It is 15 degress here in Minnesota right now, and that would certainly make smoking a lot more...

    How to build a fridge smoker

    Mulepackin, I am looking to build a similar unit to the one that you have. I am trying to figure out how to make a unit that i can concievably hot and cold smoke with. Is your smoker capable of doing both?? Originally, I was going to just get a PID and a brinkman element and be done with it...

    Little Chief Question??

    thanks for the info. I really appreciate your responses. The temperature gets up to about a max of 160 in warm weather with no insulation. I made an insulator wrap out of some material called reflectix, and i can get it up to about 180 with that. The problem is that in the cold minnesota...

    Smoked sausage recipe and process

    Hi OklahomaJoe, for the thermometer, I use an el cheapo weber digital remote thermometer. It is a little finicky and goes through batteries pretty quickly. I normally have to change them in the sending unit about once per smoke. Since i am rather new to this as well, I haven't invested in a...

    Little Chief Question??

    Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows if the elements from the big chief will fit in the little chief?? I am going to be buying or making a bigger smoker in the next few months, and I was thinking of taking this up to the lake to have up there. I think it would be a much more effective...

    Electric ECB in the cold?

    Hi All, Well, as i said before, i have had success smoking in the cold with my little chief, but the wind yesterday really knocked my temperature down. I was only able to get it up to about 140 degrees inside the chamber, which is fine for smoking sausage, but it took a LOOOOONG time to get...

    Electric ECB in the cold?

    Hi there, I can feel your pain being a fellow minnesotan. I have a little chief electric smoker, and the walls are paper thin, and maintaining heat in the cold was a concern. I smoke primarily snack sticks, summer sausage, and jerky, so most of my stuff is under 170 degrees or so. So, if...
