    From Battery Charger to Amazin Smoker (wanna be - w/V)

    First Attempt at Jerky w/Q

    Has anyone tried "Beech" wood

    The Beech around me produce nuts, so can it be used for smokin or maybe fire base-wood then maple or other for smoke. I heat with Beech so I have lots of it.

    In the Works

    This was just a test run to see if the smoke would flow. Lots to do, the temp held at 250 (4-5 hrs) no problem. The door covering didn't melt, do I need to change it if it survives? It appears to be bakilite (spelling?) If changed, galv sheet metal would be ok ?
