Well, the old fridge has served me well over the years, but it is time to upgrade.   I am building a new home for the Smoke Generator.  Footprint is 3'X4'.  It will have 4" insulated walls. A separate anti-chamber for the generator, and a few supplies.  The smoking chamber will be 28"X28"X60".  Here are the first few pics.

Here it is from the generator room end.   There will be a door on this end yet.



This is looking in through the 3'X3' door into the smoke chamber.


And a quick shot down into the smoke chamber from above.


This will be just for sausage and cheese, never over 170 degrees.
Work is halted now for a few days, as life is going to get in the way :{

I see a bunch of Good Sausage being smoked in that thing.

Can't wait to see it finished.

Looks like a nice project.  Plan on lining the inside with sheet metal ??

Friar_Tuck

I may do the bottom foot or so with sheet metal
That is how the fridge was set up.

Got the parts in from Auber today!
Built the controls, and got them all wired in.
The PID on the left is connected to the air temp probe, and controls the heat.
The PID on the right is connected to the IT probe, and at present controls nothing.

SWING!

Have you finished that Darling?

I see wood in the tower!

Did some cheese in the beast just yesterday!
Hope to run 25 Lbs of sticks through it tomorrow.
Here is the door into the 27 Cubic Foot smoke chamber.


And the business end of things.  Man, these auber PIDs are the cat's meow!


When I started this project, I envisioned a portable smoker.  It is portable, but only with these 8" pneumatic casters.  I suppose a tank is portable in some ways.

That's what I'm talkin about.  Go big or go home.  Whoot!


Enough ain't enough and too much is just about right.

Here they are two hours into the process, just starting to color up.
It sure is nice being able to do 25 Lbs without crowding it.
