Detroit Smoker

[DetroitSmoke]

Hello from Detroit, well Harper Woods really.  It's just North of Detroit and only one square miles large.  I have a rescued OBS my brother in-law gave me and with the help of this forum I was able to give it a second life.  My thanks to the many great posters on this board.  Without your help I would have not been able to spend $300 on a free smoker :)

LOL!!!
Welcome Detroit, I'm sure not going to be the one to tell you that you could've bought a brand new one for less. That would not be a nice thing to do! ::) ::)

Ya I found the same problem ...... sometimes free is very expensive. ???

Tell me about it.  I had to buy all the mods I found reading the forums.  I still need a PID thinking the one for $45 looks good but the one for $185 looks gooder. ;)  Reminds me of the sailboat I got a really good deal on.  From the day I bought it to the day I sold it I think a crack addiction would have been cheaper

Greetings fellow Detroiter!  I'm down here in Belleville, and I have also spent a good deal of $$ on my smoker, but have not yet had the time to finish my project, or smoke one piece of meat  >:(

I should finally have some time these next few weeks to see if I can get everything finished up and start smokin  8)

Hello Michigander.  Whatr sort of project are you working on with your smoker?

Welcome to the forum.

My project so far is a finished recirc fan and added shelf racks to my 4 rack Black Original smoker.  To do is a custom PID control, cold smoke adaptor, and a modified storage cabinet for safe keeping outside in the elements.  I also want to do the 900W element instead of the dual element.  Looks more substantial then the dual mod.

Reel 'em in boys, they are hooked!    ;D ;D

Fair warning.  It only gets worse from here.

$300 mods.   
$1000+ pellet grills.   
German sports cars being traded for trailer mounted rigs.     

There is no end to the madness!
