Title: Future Smoker 3
Post by: classicrockgriller on March 04, 2010, 10:05:42 AM
I went to Houston cause the people that had Future Smoker 1 said it wasn't sold.

Well it was, SOLD, Gone.

After I bitch a bit about the cost and time of driving up there twice, (I didn't tell

them I was across the street at Allied Kencos) The guy said he had something that

might work for me. And boy did he.

Double Door Oven Box

Temp Control

Only Identifying Mark on the Cabinet so I don't know the manufactor.

Top part with 4 of the 8 racks.

This is what a 10lb Butt looks like on one rack.

(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/Cajun%20Microwave/Future%20Smoker%203/SDC11495.jpg)

I had taken the Back seats out of my Tahoe thinking I was bringing Home a smaller smoker (#1) but I made it. The top of the box was

at the edge of front seat and the back was 1/2 front rear glass window.

Inside measurements are 21"W X26"D X 58"H.

It wasn't "freepas" but it was very "cheappas"

NOW! The fun begins with what to do with it.

Nice!   

And it has slam latches...  (so you can kick the door shut w/ your butt if your hands are full)

I agree with Smokey.    Google the patent #s.  Might be tied to that manufacturer..

(otherwise, why would they bother putting them on the box?)

Nice Score CRG!! Does the heating element work in it? I see you building a PID to work on it and your off to the races.

I tried googling the patent #'s and came up with a toilet flushing system. ;D

Those racks 20 x 25 would hold easily 6 butts and there are 8 racks.

I might hard wire the element to see if it heats up.

The controls went to 230* or maybe 225*

Man if that heating element works, you are all but in business. Vent on the top and a smoke generator through the side and PRESTO!  Monster smoker.

Great find.

Cool

I'm technically challenged when it comes to electrical wiring and heating elements.  I can't wait to see the end product. Well done CRG.

I have all kind of challenges and I know the only way I will be able to do it is with help from the Forum or pay someone.

I have some thoughts as to what I want to achieve and what I hope will work, but that is my limit.

That's the beauty of what you're doing.  That's going to be one heck of a smoker.  I'm so jealous.

That is for sure. you couldn't ask for a better cabinet than that. Sweet deal Sonny.

Nice score there CRG.

It would great if the element and controller work.

Should make a nice smoker when it's up and running!

Are you planning on using a Bradley smoke generator on it?

;D
Title: Re: Future Smoker 3
Post by: classicrockgriller on March 04, 2010, 06:29:13 PM
This will be the "ONLY" one I will ever put together and I want to do it right.

I want to be able to both low smoke (sausage, etc.) and also Butts, Brisket, Ribs, Goats, Pigs, etc.

Probably 240* max temp. The Cabinet should hold the heat extremely well since it was an oven box.

I want to use a Bradley smoke generator thru a cold smoke adaptor so If I wanted to I could use an

alternative wood source for smoke with a hot plate setup.

I am kinda spoiled with a pid setup, so that almost is a must.

Looks barely used...
Not that you can't FIX THAT....

It's tight. All corners welded and grinded.

Roof has about 4" of insulation.

Door gaskets at A+.

Gonna try to fire it up tomorrow and see what happens.

Now Future smoker 2 might become a charcoal smoker.
