I know this could be in the " General " forum , but, looks pretty quiet around here ,
Need to get this project up and going asap , looking for input on where to find certain materials ,
experience on any successfull builds by our members would be great
I am looking to construct a combo cold n hot smoker that is appx 5 ft to 6 ft ( T ) x 3ft ( W ) x 3ft ( D )
Buddy is gonna fabricate , weld the Frame as per my specs , 1 x1 in. angle iron, once completed , i will be needing a sheet metal material to enclose it , thinking 1/8 in. Aluminum or SS ,
# 1 Where is a good place to look for the Sheet Metal ?
I must find some wire racks similar to the ones found on big chiefs ,arround 8 pieces , but bigger , ( 3 x 3ish ) smoker will be built around the size that i find closest to 3 x 3
# 2 Where may i find these racks ?
I am going to elevate the 5 x 3 smoke compartment appx 18in. off the ground on a custom frame with wheels . A smoke generator will be placed a few feet away from the Smoker , on the ground , ducted in by a 5 in. corregated flexible duct, for my Cold Smoking ,
# 3 Suggestion on a Smoke Generator ? have thought about the Bradley Generator , but , the puck thing looks like
a money grab , and not cheap , has anyone found alternatives to Bradley pucks ? alternatives ?
For Hot smoking , I have got a adjustable element saved from a previous system , temperature control and themometer built in , will be plugged in when needed , use a pan like the Big Chief ,placed on the element , easy enough
i live in Van , but travelthe island regularily , so pick up is no big deal
any tips or trix , experiences greatly appreciated , hope to find materials asap
thx in advance
