So my husband and I are building an uds, the weather is changing and I think we can burn out the barrel soon! I have a question, well maybe more of a thought, please feel free to tell me if this is dumb.....
My husband is in hvac and used to do restaurant equipment. He has all kinds of parts and goodies laying around. He has a control unit from Johnstone that we can use to basically set the uds to whatever temp I want and it will keep it there within 3 degrees on either side. I know this has totally been done before. What I'm wondering is, does it sound dumb or is it possible to set it up to run on solar? One reason I really like the uds is the lack of reliance on grid power or propane. I feel like even if SHTF (pardon my french lol) you still have your smoker lol. I probably sound like a crazy person now :-) on a less crazy note, you could take it to deer camp and still have a fancy fun toy!
Any thoughts about this would be cool. I've learned before I present an idea to hubby, it's better to figure it out first. That way when he disagrees with me, I have some leverage :-)
