    Digital temp and propane conversion

    Amazing thread. I have been reading for a few months about propane controls and such. And Ive found no decent way of controlling it without spending 5-600. If this works out I think you will have a lot of people  following..

    Newbie - "Cut Case" Smoker Build

    So I have been watching and see a few people using the burner from Northern Tools. I am curious if the double burner will be big enough for my smoker. If I can save money that would be great. I am finishing lining it with wood and now looking for shelving materials. Will 3/4 expanded be...

    Thanks for the input. Had an old fella pop by today when he saw me working on it. He uses one a tad smaller and says the cheapest way to maintain my heat is fir.  He also said I would need a fan for circulation and has one he is going to give me. I went ahead and ordered 2 of the 6x8 trays...

    Newbie - "Cut Case" Smoker Build

    OK ty. As far as electric I want to stay with 110volt.  Will that be sufficient?  or will I need 220. I am very unsure as to what size element I will need. I rarely go over 240 in my smoker. I have looked at the amnps but my issue is finding dust and pellets. I live in the country and...

    Newbie - "Cut Case" Smoker Build

    So I work on the railroad and scored this cast steel cut case. The door is air and water tight so it should work perfect. It measures 24 deep x 34 wide by 60 high. I would like to make this something that will last for years as I am a hunter and do 100s of lbs of sausage. I am hoping for help...
