Big Jim Whitten, in Micanopy, Floriduh, builds 'em. Or Google on "smoker
construction."

John, for family (as opposed to commercial) use, I most sincerely
recommend just purchasing a Bradley digital. I've been slow smoking
food for over 40 years, now, and have had better, more consistent and
delicious results with my Bradley than with any pit, R2D2 or grill I've
ever bought or built, That's my strongest recommendation.

Nonny,
I have been looking at the Bradley smokers. I can not see any info as far
as the low temperature range. Do you happen to know what the lowest temp the
smoker will function at? I like smoking cheeses and need to keep the temps
below 100 degrees F. Thanks for any advice/information. The way I smoke
cheese now is in an old gas grill I modified, it works well but I can only
use it when its cold outside.

The Bradley digital has separate controls for the hood temperature and
the smoke generator. When I "cold smoke," I never even cut the heat on.
With the draft open, the hood temperature is virtually the same as the
ambient temperature. For example, I routinely smoke bulk bacon and when
it comes out after 30 or so minutes, the meat is about the same as if I
had left it on the rack by the smoker.

I've been playing with smoke cooking for most of my life, and can
honestly say that the Bradley, IMHO, is the best combination of function
and results.

For jerky, cheese, etc I use my Lil Chief smoker. It's
electric but with the chip pan it works well and is a low
temp unit.

IMHO, you could do no better than to get one of Rocky's designs at
www.bigdrumsmokers.com. He has great and simple drum smokers which
keep the pit smoked taste and he gets very very long smoking times
(more than 12). Your food will be done well prior to your charcoal.
Don't think you can copy it either, since he has been perfecting them
for years! You can spend much more, but you don't need to.
