    One new/old smoker

    Thanks for all the kind replys. After smoking some wings, butts, and atbs, I have found that if I were to do it again I would probably run a larger heating element as this one takes 1 hour to heat the unit from 25 to 250 degrees. Not bad but the recovery time while opening for mopping or...

    Which heating element?

    Hello all, I have been sitting the sidelines here for a while and with my latest build I figured I had better ask the pannel. How large of a finned strip heater should I use - 750w, 1000w, or 1250w. The smoker to be is a 1951 International Harvester with about 12 cubic feet of space. It is...
