I know I just bought it....but here is a big one...
I added the Smokemiester 2
I went with a no power needed smoke generator but I was torn...I burned it in on a 40 degree day and the internal temp only reached 70 degrees. That was with the sample wood pellets. I am now doing a test burn using apple wood chips. It is currently 31 degrees and the temp inside holding at 50 F.
Also on order which I will have photos in a few days of the installation is a 1/2 NPT pipe bulkhead fitting and a Measureman 3" dial, analog thermometer, scale 50 to 400 degree, with 4" shaft. I will drill a 1" hole in the door, install the bulkhead fitting. The reasoning behind this is if you are going to measure the temperature inside the smoker then you should do the measurement the same way each time. SO for a reference temp...that I know is from the same place and I can get a feel for the heat. I went with a stainless bulkhead fitting so I could swap out for a lower thermometer of something like 0 to 200 F when I am cold smoking. I know this is pretty nerdy. But hey...its all good.
Here is the thermometer and bulkhead fitting...I'll add a pic when I fit it.
Oh also I ordered a Auber PID Temp controller. A Single probe...version.
