I'm still debating/convincing my wife on whether or not I should have the parts cut or just got ahead and add a plasma cutter to the collection. Have to see what the price is gonna be. Talked to Frank a while back before steel prices shot up and all the material on a pallet precut really was pretty ...

Currently saving up for it. Got a cousin that works at a metal shop and he said he can get me "scraps"for a decent price. Also get a discount on the cutting. I'm planning on saving 3k, hopefully come in under budget but that never happens lol!

I think I'm gonna have to wait and miss the early pricing. I'm pretty sure what I have saved isn't gonna touch it lol!

Price?

I do it every time. It shrinks the casing down and gives it a little snappier bite. Usually let them bathe for 10 minutes or so then hang in the fridge overnight. Then vac seal the next day.

Rytek Kutas has a great book on sausage making. Also check out Walton's Inc. They sell everything you need and have informative article too. Seasoning are great too, been using them almost 20years.

Did you put them in an ice water bath right after smoking?

It was something he dreamed up one day and we made it happen. Back in the days before the interwebs full of forums and blueprints

Thank you! It's my dad's. It's a little different design. Has a pipe from the firebox all the way to the front with holes facing down along it. He fills it up with water to just below the pipe. Never seen one like it. It works really well and actually the temps are only a few degrees difference from...

No worries. In my trade(industrial maintenance electrician) if you aren't giving or receiving hell from somebody they probably don't like you lol!

My biggest dilemma now is deciding between the new one Frank hasn't released yet and Mack lol!

Yeah figured it was best I started my own these and quit hijacking...

Been lurking for quite a while. I have reached the point in the natural progression of smoker ownership that I need something much larger. A little background first. Back in high school me and my dad and brother built a large traditional smoker, that dad still uses to this day for catering and compe...

So after rereading the Mack thread for the 5000th time I'm back to leaning towards it. Frank shows the wc running at around 160 with the cc at 250ish. That would be about perfect for me. I could smoke sausage and everything else at the same time. Also I want to be trailer mounted and I have an idea ...

How low can you reliably run these gravity smokers? Specifically the double pan. Debating on what I want to build and being able to run lower for smoking sausage is a big deciding factor for me. I know I will never be able to control as good as my electric but a guy can hope right? I do intend to ru...

I cant get the second link to work.

Havent got a chance to use it yet but our easy up type canopy has like a little mini canopy up top with a gap between them. If that makes sense? Anyway it would allow smoke to pass right out the top but still stay dry.

I'm leaning towards that pretty heavy now. Will definitely go full size. Definitely not new to building one or smoking. My dad, brother, and I built this one when me and my brother were in high school. Tons of fun! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181002/69fa44f5f2e6cc4df5711a9986013372.jpg Sent f...

Lmao! I'm anxious to see the price of this new one. Talked with Frank a while back about the Mack and while it's at the upper end of what I want to spend it's probably doable. Kinda big for what I do though...

Following. Not sure if I want this or a Mack yet...

Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Not yet, we are still several projects behind. I do not expect to see those until closer to spring. could be sooner than that but I need to stop being so optimistic... bites me in the a$$ everytime... :BDHorse: :BDHorse: That's a ways out! May end up buying the big ones and scaling them down myself...

Any updates on the mini Mack plans? Kinda holding out for those ;)

Tandem axles wouldn't hurt.

Look at the franktronic impulse build - that one is pellet drive but I know for a fact that you could build that with a charcoal/wood fire in the bottom and control it with a guru for very stable heat.... I did that on Edna and she wasn't even insulated like Frank's.... :D I can't find that one. Go...
