(SI3 + cart) & PID with chimney to range hood in garage
« on: December 23, 2013, 10:39:56 PM »
Well. Today finished last tweaks for winter setup. Installed hood and exhaust to outside (works great). Added cabinet for smoking supplies. Presently auto tuning Auber PID. NOTE will leave garage door ajar 2" for fresh air although likely not necessary. Initially one can smell smoke during the heavy smoke stages; however come the second hour there is no trace or smell of smoke which is very different compared to no exhaust hood.

Presently pork butt rubbed and waiting for an 18 hour marathon smoke to be ready Christmas Day. Optimistic better results in store this round.

Very nice setup.  I'm more impressed with your garage.  Mine is so full of stuff.  I don't have a bare wall in the garage, three lofts full of crap, and the floor is still a mess.

I need to get rid of some stuff.

how cool... my garage (lovingly called The Pineroom)is also finished, and  has its own meter service (200) run to it. no water out there yet though. i am slowly preparing for my wife to throw me out of the house...LOL....  I really like the idea of the hood and chimney. i may have to steal this idea.

Hi Steve:

That is a really cool set-up but I'm with rickne, I am really impressed with your garage!  You should see where I have to store my #2!

A suggestion, if I may, to really push your installation over the top (not that it isn't already):  Install a urinal on the wall next to the smoking area!  A urinal in my garage is something I have dreamed of for years.

The garage is attached.  Which explains why it's tidy as it's used mostly as a kids play area and a transition are for folks to hang out in the summer. 

As for the urinal... Yah right my bed would then be in the shed.  :-\

Good thinking, Steve!  Comfy, but not TOO comfy! ;)

Very nice!  I have a similar setup but mine is a little more "ghetto" looking! ;D

I like the setup but you can have that kind of cold weather, not to much of a problem down here in Texas.

Grew up loving the north... Four seasons snowmobiling skiing ice fishing... It's really kind of fun. 

Have to agree come March the natives get restless.
