Step 6
Voila - Jerky! On a side note...placing my aged to perfection steaks beneath my jerky wasn't a good idea.

Step 1 Shoot something...for this project my oldest son did the deed. 20151208_175049.jpg Step 2 Mix it up in a bowl with some special super secret (not really, I bought it) seasoning. 2015-12-08 17.58.12.jpg Step 3 Put it on a new shiny pan... 2015-12-08 17.57.47.jpg Step 4 Put it in the smoker...a...

Give me a couple minutes...I've got some smoking right now.

1/4 is perfect for the firebox and baffle plate.

This is what it's all about...

Thanksgiving week in Wisconsin is called holy week by many...mostly because the state practically shuts down for the 9 day gun deer season. I'm in my stand thinking about how my turkey will smoke this afternoon. I'm thankful for many things today and one of them is that there is a group of guys here...

I looked up the Lincoln. It's a 110v model that most likely won't be up to the task. We have a 140 at work, and it's a terrific light duty welder but I don't think it will do what you want it to.

Here's my smoker so you get an idea of where I'm at. I hope it helps some...it's 180 gallons so we're both in the same ballpark size wise.

Right side.

I closed mine up 20-25%. I measure temps left to right and center with the sensor hanging on the bottom of the top rack. In the past the center temp stayed in line with the left temp gauge and the right one would be higher when I had too big of a fire and lower when the fire was dying down. I might ...

Seems to work fine from my s5 Samsung.

Just using this as a test.

Did you close up the baffle plate gap? I did mine and my temps settled in quite a bit. The last cook I was within 5-10° left to right and center.

Did it smell good when you cut it down? That's the tell tale sign to me...

Split the difference and get a 5". [WHITE SMILING FACE] personally I like the 4.5" because it's a little easier to manage in small spots.

Looks like a terrific start!

Just remember guys...no pics, it never happened. Wish I could be there to meet everyone.

been there - minus the powder coating. I'd love to see how the powder coat worked out...please send pics.

I sized mine the same and am experimenting with reducing it. I've only cooked once with it reduced and it seemed to tighten up the temp variation from left to right and the center. There were times that my center temp and both temp gauges on the lid were within 5°. Before I reduced it they would var...
