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.

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.

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.



Set the PID for 210* This is pretty much where it stayed.



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.

Maybe this weekend I might be ready to smoke a COW!
