I either need to get this running or find someone that wants a nice Cabinet for a Smoker.
http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=14749.0
I had this from a project I didn't do.
(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/Cajun%20Microwave/Test%20Run%20Future%20Smoker/SDC12340.jpg)
I had it plugged into a 25 foot extention cord.
(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/Cajun%20Microwave/Test%20Run%20Future%20Smoker/SDC12334.jpg)
I took various reading from 3 different rack levels.
This is from the middle of the smoker.

Rack 10" above middle

I'll plug up the element that came with it tomorrow and take some more readings.
Looks like it'll be plenty powerful enough..
Get yourself another PID (or even a Ranco) to reign that sucker in.
That thing oughtta do some serious smokin!
That Cabinet was still holding 150* 2 1/2 hrs after I shut everything down.
I'm thinking I really don't need to go to a 220 element.
Maybe Mr Walleye or HawkeyeSmokes will read this and tell me what they think.
That cab looks like it is probably very well insulated, so it seems like - once it's up to temp, it wouldn't require much at all to keep it there..
I know it was empty when I did this, but it got to temp in less than a hour.
Also when I opened the door to move the probes around the temp had stablelized
in 15 to 20 minutes each time.
Hey Sonny, glad see to see you fired this up and started to have some fun with it.
Your first run looks good.
I would mount your SG in it and add a top vent to it and test again. That will give you an idea of how it heats up with some air flow through it. Put a drip pan over the heating element to for the test.
You might have enough heat with the 1500W element for the smoking plans you have for it.
Keep us posted.
;D ;D

Thanks HES.
I wired up the element that came with the F S #3.
Again I used the same extention cord and just let the probe rest right below the top shelf from yesterday.
I didn't move the probe around.
30 mins -> 201*
45 mins -> 245*
1 hr -> 258*
it maxed out at the 1 hr 20 min mark at 280*
I opened the door and let the maverick reach 200 and shut the door back.
it went from 200 to 250 in 2 1/2 minutes.
reached 269 at the 5 minute mark
and maxed back out at 280* at the 9 minute mark.
I unplugged everything and at 15 minutes had a reading of 241*
30 minutes 215*
1 hr 180*
1 1/2 hr 158*
2 hrs 145*
Based on the watt to amp calculator:
1500 watt element at 120 volts draws 12.5 amps.
The unknown is the original element.
If it is a 1000 watt element, 8.33 amps
If it is a 1250 watt element, 10.4 amps
Kinda thinking of leaving the element that is there (it is mounted on the side wall)
and letting it free run on it's own circuit.
Putting the 1500 watt element on a PID with the smoke generator and controlling that element for high heat smoke/cooks
and not turn on the side element for low heat smoke/cooks.
Is there a test (ohms?) to determend the watts of the side element?
P=VI
V=IR, so I = V/R
Measure the resistance
Divide the voltage by the resistance to get the current
Multiply the current times the voltage and you'll get the power.

Kevin, I only speak english. ;D
lol
(120 / Resistance) X 120 = power
ok I know i have a 1250 watt element.
I O'ed out the metter.
I tested it and it read .6 (between 0 and 1) on x10 scale.
It's sounds like you might be using the wrong scale on your meter, you should be getting around 11.5. I think you might need to be on the X1 scale. You also have to have it disconnected from the circuit otherwise you can get some bad readings.
I have alarm, then X10.
It almost sounds like that 1250 W element is for a 240 volt system.
Quote from: KevinG on June 28, 2010, 02:03:17 PM

It is the element off the old smokey that I plug into 110.
based on what you told me that I should have gotten a reading of 11.5,
I had to multiply my 5.75 reading by 20.
I took a reading on the unknown element and got 8.5 X 20 = 17 / 120 = 7 x 120 = 840.
So I am calling it a 1000 watt element.
I have a cheapo meter. ;D
Thanks Kevin.
I just took a reading on an element that is advertised as a 1500 watt.
And by using those calculation, it came out to 1440.
Glad it worked out.
CRG
Your getting great heat out of that 1500 watt element.
I agree with HawkeyeSmokes, get the top vent in and mount a smoke generator in it and do some test runs.
Mike
I have a small vent at the top. 1 1/2 vent tube.
I did one more test run using the 1200 watt element out of the
Old Smokey that I fixed for my Step Father.
30 mins/224*
45 mins/254*
1 hr/282*
1 hr 15 mins/298*
Also ordered a smoke generator for it last nite.

Get yourself another PID (or even a Ranco) to reign that sucker in.
Be careful: The Auber-WS is only rated for 12A at 120VAC and 1440 watts.

That's about what the Ranco is rated at as well. (maybe a bit less) He'd need a SSR in between.
I have two PIDs I willtry first.
My Bradley SS Smoke generator was shipped yesterday and hopefully
will have it before the weekend to play with.
I will run a few more test with smoke gen and combination of elements
next week.
Good luck and I look forward too seeing how it works out.
Smoke Generator sat at UPS office 30 minutes from my house since thursday,
and today they are off for the 4th.
So I guess, hope, I will get it tomorrow.
Dang it!
I hate it when that happens! Tomorrows the day!
The Smoke Generator came in and what a thing of Beauty.
Kinda makes me wish I had bought a SS-BS.
(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/Cajun%20Microwave/Test%20Run%20Future%20Smoker/SDC12399.jpg)
Came with a 60 pk Variety Pk. $134/free shipping.
I think I have seen that business end sticking out the back end of a hot rod? ;D
Cut the 5" hole today and got the generator installed.

(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/Cajun%20Microwave/Test%20Run%20Future%20Smoker/SDC12407.jpg)
When's the first smoke?
Still have some more things to do.
Am gonna run so more test runs tomorrow with the elements shielded and the smoke gen running.
Once I decide the power to be used, it all has to get bolted down and wired up and drip covers made.
Maybe next weekend.
Gonna empty the freezer! ;D
Wish I lived there and you had it done last week when my freezer died.
THAT would have been loads of fun my friend!
You should have gotten the dual exhaust model Sonny ;D It really looks pretty impressive. I can hardly wait to see how it all works. How many pork butts again?
Quick, get that internal shine off that toy tool. ;D
Get the smoke rolling.
Lookin' good Sonny!
Mike
nice job so far.....can't wait to see if finished and to see how it works.
When I mounted the smoke gen to the cabinet, it kinda moves.
Did you guys screw the adaptor plate to the cabinet to stablize it or just not
worry about it

On the ones I have built I did. I pre-drilled all 4 corners and mounted it to the cabinet. Also, on the interior I ran a bead of hi-temp silicone around it to seal it up.

I guess we could, but they would probably say .... NO!

Now cutting the holes at the top to make them the same size is a different story.
Took all day and all the brain cells I had left to accomplish that! ;D
Huh? You're cutting MULTIPLE 5" Exhausts? :o
The 5" on the side was for the smoke gen.
Was no "hole" before so that was easy.
The exhaust hole on top was 1 1/4" on the inside and 2 1/4" on the top side.
They are now both 2 1/4".
Try cutting smokething with a hole saw and not having a place for your drill bit to
go thru to help you get a "grove" for the hole saw to start.

GRRRRR!
Brisquette Burner doesn't heat up on new smoke generator!
Guess I follow the advice I've given others.
"Give Bradley a Call on Monday! They will fix you up!"
Took it apart to check for loose or unplug wires and everything is hooked up.
Any suggestions, I'll listen.
I know FAQ! ;D

When you had it apart did you try un-plugging the various plugs and re-connecting them?
Sometimes it's just a bad connection that appears to be good.
Also the fuse but I'm sure you have checked that.
Mike
Everything works but the hot plate.
I am doing the unplug re plug now and in the mean time put my OBS smoke gen on it for some test runs.
Every thing is working.
The main plug in to the hot plate the pin had slide backwards and was not making contact.
Hot plate is getting HOT!
Thanks again Mike.

Here some pics of what a nice job the whole saw did.

The Bradley hole calls for 125 mm hole, but a 5" hole saw is 127mm.
Talk with Mike and he said he had pre drilled hole in the adaptor plate and secured it to the Cabinet. I did the same.
I also put hi-Temp silicon around the inside hole to keep smoke out of the insulation.

Am only running the element that came with it and the smoke gen hot plate.
I am just about to call it quits and let things cool down and plug it into the Auber.
Had 5 racks and probe the top two with the ET-73
The bottom two with the ET-7
The middle rack with an oven gauge
The smoke gen had been on about 40 minutes and the temps read
(73) 123 & 123

I have had to do this a time or two and I found the best way was to clamp a piece of plywood over the exsisting hole and then use it to be the center bits new guide. Then just cut your new hole right threw the plywood. Not sure how you did yours Sonny but this is just some food for thought for next time or anyone else who might be scratching their head to do this.
Kinda what I did Q.
I took the 5" circle piece I cut out of the side and centered it top
to bottom and cut out the hole to match.
Here are some pics of mine.

On my smokehouse vent i went from 6" adaptor w/flap to 4" pipe w/cap.
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/DSCF6850.jpg)
After the Free Run test, I hooked up my PID and ran it thru another cycle
and that kinda told me I need more heat in the Cabinet, so I am going to start with the
other element I tested before and let my two PID's run each element.
When I ran the PID and another small round of smoke off the smoke gen, I hated to
not use the smoke so I loaded up tomatillos, onions, garlic, jalapenos, tomato's.
(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/Cajun%20Microwave/Test%20Run%20Future%20Smoker/SDC12421.jpg)
Set the PID for 210* This is pretty much where it stayed.
(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/Cajun%20Microwave/Test%20Run%20Future%20Smoker/SDC12422.jpg)
Ended up making two quarts of non-smoked (on the left) and two quarts of smoked (on the right) of Salsa Verde.

Is that a ginormous Frog Mat?
Bought a Sheet of it at Allied and cut 8 for the Big Smoker.
I think my PID will run mine to.
These massive homemade smokers are just too cool.
I've got measurements for all my inside metal work and hope to get that done tomorrow.
Also have a list of electrical supplies.

I had decided to make this with what I had. It had a 1000 watt element
(110 volt) on the right side. I added a 1250 watt element across the bottom.
I am controlling each element with a SEPERATE Auber plug n' play PID that I
purchased for my Bradley's.
The drip shield across the back is installed temp. I kinda wanted it there to help
direct the heat off the back wall.

The junction box behind the smok gen is the wiring to the 1250 watt element that will get plugged into a PID.

The 1000 watt wall element comes out the top of the smoker and that will get plugged into another PID.
Since I only used a 2 1/8" exhaust vent, I am using a Powervent that is slightly offset and raised 1/4" to
help with the exhaust flow. mikeradio sent that to me all the way from Canada. Thanks a bunch Mike!

If I end up liking the two 110 element, I plan on having a PID built to combine everything into one controller.
I will still have to run on two separate 110 plugs unless I get an electrician out here.
Again, THANKS for all the help!
Can't wait to see the sausage and mega smokes that come out of there! Looks great!
Pack that baby full CRG!

I don't think you will have to wait very long.

Now that is what I was thinking. ;D
That looks great Sonny. You did an awesome job of it. Now I am going to have to start looking for one. Luckily we have a scrapper near here that handles food equipment.
Sounds like it's time for about 80 pounds of Boudin.
Cool beans
Fire that bad boy (or girl) up ;D
Call the power company first.... They might need to bring another plant online!
Let-R-Rip!!!
Its looking good -enough fiddling -smoke something and post us some pictures.
Congrats Sonny!
Ya did an awesome Job!
Two thumbs up! ;)
Mike

The Smoker is at the point that I feel like it is ready to smoke something.

Um...just thinking out loud but if you could find a SSR that could handle the current of both elements and it has a 110 VAC coil you could do it with a single PID. I've never looked for such an animal but someone else may have?
What can I say other than it looks amazing.
Standing ovation from Guthrie, OK ;D
Nice work Sonny!
Looks Great!
Ditto on what Mike said. Another 2 thumbs up!
;D ;D

On second thought (and looking back to see what both elements are) that is pushing 22 amps with the SG. Yea, you may need your own circuit breaker for this bad boy?
All my test runs were on two seperate circuits and the Smoke gen
plug separately into the same plug as the 1250 watt element.
I did have to run a Hvy Gg short cord to the 1000 watt element.
Test any PIG yet?
