I understand the issues ...
1) The power goes out I live in Houston and have lived with hurricanes my whole life, Ike being the last. When one lives in an area that is prone to nature in this manner, one learns that you can be weeks without power (with Ike, we were without power for 7 weeks). This being the case, I have a generator for backup power. So if I lose power, the gen will fire up and keep things going until the grid comes back up. Also, I'm not one to be wasteful but if I lose power, it's not the end of the world if I lose what I've got going on the smoker. 2) Where's the smoke ... this is a smoker right? Simple answer ... what does one use when cold smoking? Why of course, use a cold smoker. You can build a cold smoker and install or you buy one and install. For me, I'm doing enough building, I'll take the easy path and I'll purchase one. The Smoke Daddy will do the trick! I'm not sure if I'm violating forum rules, if I have, please forgive me and remove the link, here is the link to Smoke Daddy: http://www.smokedaddyinc.com/smokers.htm Hope this answer the questions. |

On the controller, I'm using a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller with an SSR. The one I purchased was from Auberins, model number: SYL-2352 I'll post more and pics on this in the near future. |

I am guessing that your 220v supply is your heavy duty supply for large tools/appliances ?

So I started on the lid for the vent holes and making the vent.
Made a pattern with ms paint program on the computer and printed it. Placed it on the lid to mark the holes. Drilled the pilot holes and then used a step bit to drill the 3/4" holes in the lid. Picked up a piece of aluminum at Home Depot. Traced the pattern on the aluminum. I used the ruler to make/trace the tab. I drilled the vent holes with the step bit before I cut the shape out. Then started to cut the shape out with a Dremel tool. Vent cut out. The vent cut out with vent holes and the lid with the vent holes. Not shown, I put the tab in a vise and slowly bent it over to an angle. Vent mounted on the lid. Lid handle to come once I decide on something. |

Looking good,
I've go a drum lined up for my first build. I'm thinking eventually I will get either a iq110 or a nano-q. Also a et-73 with those I should be able to bring to the ol hunting camp and do some set it and forget it of my own!

Good luck Marvin. I have a UDS and a Mini-UDS, when I cold smoke, I use an electric hot plate, a small cast iron pot full of wood chips, covered with foil, poke holes in the foil, and place it on the hot plate. Presto! The hot plate being adjustable, you can dial it in according to the outside temp, especially when it's 90 outside and your are trying to smoke at 110 or lower. Works for me.
