Hey guys thanks for the input. Going to go get myself a hot plate and start experimenting them. Happy smoking!

I have a 22.5 WSM, and want to smoke some venison summer sausage later this season. I have been brain storming a little bit about putting a hot plate in place of the charcoal to regulate the heat a little bit better, and putting wood chips in a tin foil pan to create the smoke. I was wondering...

Well I thought it was the handle and the mounting brackets. I didn't open the package but the photo on the front looked like it was both. If I get a chance to stop by there this week I will look, I have been thinking about putting some on my wsm.

I was reading this post and thought you may want to know that ACE Hardware, here in Minnesota anyway, carries replacement handles for the weber grills and smokers. If memory serves me right they were 8 or 9 dollars each. Might save some time and money for ya. Just something that I thought might...

I will put some info together on it. I had some of the materials so the cost may not be exact.

The manual that came with the controller had some set values for BBQ smokers, so I just used them to get started. I am going to use the auto tune feature once I get a chance to use it. According to the instructions the controller will learn reaction time of the smoker.

Sweet, I think I am going to try the appetizer type. If everything goes right I am going to try to smoke it this weekend. Thanks for all the advice.

I just got to fillets of salmon from a friend and really want to throw it on the smoker. I have done a little reading on different recipes seems fairly simple but was just wondering what everyone thinks is the best way to smoke it. Never have smoked any fish before, what tastes the best any...

Its a PID controller that learns your pit temp as you cook, its got adjustable temp control. Its also a 12v dc system so you could run it off any 12 volt battery. There is a temp sensor for the pit and a fan that turns on and off to maintain the temp. I mounted it in an aluminum box, its not...

I just finished building my temp controller. Pretty basic but thought I would share it for everyone. Built it for less than a $100. Temp Controller

Here's my first attempt at venison summer sausage. It turned out pretty good. Venision summer sausage

I was wondering if anyone out there has built there own temp controller and has had any success? I have been doing some research on other forums and I believe that I have got a way to build a fairly simple temp controller for under a 100 bucks, and a little time. I am wondering if its worth it...

Spent a little more time on the cart today thought I would post a few more pictures. Hopefully I don't get carried away! The cart taking shape

I am going to leave it open for now, but I am going to put cedar shelves on it. I was thinking about making some type of removable windbreak but that will be a future project.

I am starting a cart for my smoker. I thought I would post some pics of the progress. I hope the pics come thru alright. Start of the cart
