Hey Rooster -------- What do you have in the bottom of your smoker for a heat/smoke source??
That's a dam big fridge. Do you have a thermometer set up for it? confused smile

Thats just a regular 110 volt hotplate/burner. I use a cast iron skillet for a chip pan.
I dont use a thermometer, but I probably should. I do alot of opening/checking/rotating racks. I know I lose lose of heat because of that, but the product comes out really good.
If I tell you any more and the guy that showed me how to smoke fish reads this I will be in big trouble!

Iv'e got an old freeze that I gutted all of the plastic and freon tubes out of. I was afraid of when it heated up that the toxins would leach into the meat or fish that was being smoked. Have you noticed and differance in taste by leaving all that in.

I'd definately line the inside with ply wood,including the door.The condinsation and other
by products hanging around on the plastic or fibre
glass is a turn off for me.The ply wood would act
as insulation and what not.Also Do you wipe it down after each use.Just my $0.02 worth.Not trying
to bash your smoker,but just giving you some pointers.Also on cold day's I'd run two burners.
One for smoke and one for heat.Good luck,

I like the idea of two burners, although I think it is real easy to get it TO HOT.
As far as the inside walls, I wipe the bottom out every time, but the smoke reside and whatnot is ok on the inside as long as it doesnt get moldy and nasty. I think plywood would just absorb and hide some of the bad moldy bacteria growing stuff. I feel like each batch gets better as the inside bacomes seasoned.
I use a real slow, warm smoke as opposed to a quick hot smike that would melt the interior.
I know commercial smokehouses use all stainless and have to bleach it out after each batch.
I also know (or think) my fish tastes better.
There is definately more than one way to skin a cat.....
