Check out my pics on A.B.F, soory the pics suck and you can't see it in
action. I have pics with food on it but they were taken on film so they
will be a while. Thanks

Sorry my posts got rejected, they will be up right away....

I've been eagerly awaiting your pics Callahan. I like what I see. But,
the element seems mighty small compared to my Char-Broil. How does it do
with temp control?

Better living through smoking.

It takes about 15 mins to get up to 200, the max temp I've been able to
get outdoors is 250-275 measured with an oven thermometer sitting on the
grill. You might notice that one of the elements is hotter then the other.
I think this was because I was bending them into different shapes before I
found what I liked (elements are from a toaster oven). I have a few spares
and might try to replace the cooler one. However it doesn't bother me that
it can't get any hotter. If I'm leaving for a while and its windy out I
just crank it on max and don't really have to worry....I have a nice shot of
it in action on film...be patient I spent all my money on pork and have no
cash to get my slides developed ;-)
Food that has been cooked in there so far:
2 rack of baby backs,
1 rack of spare ribs,
Smoked tomatoe salsa (tomatoes, green pepers, jalinios, onions, whole
garlic)
smoked bannana halves with the skin on, honey, brown sugar, cinnimon on the
exposed part

Had a problem (disscussed in other posts) with the wood catching fire but
I've fixed that with foil and its all good. My goal was a smoker I could
toss in the car and take up to the lake without any big hastles. And since
I'm a relative bbq noob with little funds I needed something CHEAP.

Dirty,

If you take the smoker to the lake, where do you plug the heating
element in?

Umm, I'm thinking into the side of the cabin :-)
