    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Building a cabinet smoker from pieces

    First off, let me introduce myself; my name is Stevan and I am new to the smoking forums.  I am presently smoking my meats with a Red Brinkman electric smoker, the inexpensive one that has no temperature controls. I am getting ready to convert an old Masterbuilt electric "cabinet style" smoker...
