    Smoker elements

    If anyone is looking for elements for a build or to upgrade their smoker I have 3 of these. Just cut a square hole and drop it in. The tray and pans and plug are the main value, you could put whatever element in it you want, whether 120v or 240 v. I'm not looking to profit off of SMF, happy to...

    Off-gassing

    Intake/exhaust help for a watt burner please

    Hi all. I am to the point in the build where I'm ready to cut in the intake and exhaust. Need help with sizing it. The build is under fridge builds, Traulsen Refrigerator. I have asked the question on there but doesn't seem to be anyone interested. Thanks for the help.

    Venison Jalepeno Cheese Germans (smokies)

    A quick recipe for fantastic deer sausage. I have been told by many long time hunters it's the best they have had. This is just a brief guideline.

    Traulsen Commercial Refrigerator build

    Well, starting the next build, and hopefully this one is a keeper. Picked up a 2 door Traulsen and went to work. It will be a watt burner again. With PID controller. The SMD 100 from Auber. Trying to keep it cheap as possible but it's already getting expensive.

    Old fridge build

    Picked this up for free and it looks like it will work great. Has the right insulation and baked enamel coating. So far so good.
