If you were going to build your own smoker, where would you start?

[ffrcoupe]

I'm thinking about building my own smoker using some form of cabinet, an Auber PID, and the Bradley smoke generator.

Is there a way to advance the bisquettes in the BSG automatically using the PID?

What would you use for the cabinet?

Ideas, comments? :)

I would go the proofer route.  Several of the guys have converted proofers and from what I understand they are very happy with them.  Mr. Walleye AKA Mike has been a big help in converting proofers.  Here are several of his posts to get you started.

Pikeman AKA Kirby converted a RR Switch box into a smoker that he can get at least 60 pounds in.

Red Green converted a car into a smoker.  ;D  Moral of the story is if it can be closed up and air tight then it most likely can be converted into a smoker.  There was a poster a while back that was doing a conversion on an old porcelain fridge.  Keep us posted on what you decide to convert and please post photos of the conversion.
