I'm making a smoker out of a stainless pipe 3ft tall 16 in outside diameter with a thickness of 3/16 and I have 1 1100watt single burner I need to know if that's enough to bring the temp over 200
I saw the thread and quickly looked and thought " I'm not going there" and THEN a second look and I saw USMC! NEVER leave a brother behind/hangin! Semper Fi my brother. So here we go with my 2 cents. Stainless is HARD to get hot and when you add in 3/16" stainless it becomes tougher. Without more info the answer to your question is yes, it should do. NOW how long it will take to get up to that temp is a totally different can of worms. I LIKE your stainless idea. In my humble opinion I might consider using propane as a heat source. You can crank it up to get the smoker hot and then back it down to maintain smoking temp. Add a AMNPS for a smoke source and you're off and running. For more ideas post you same question in the smoker builds forum. Hope this helps. Keep Smokin!
