Sausage Smoker ?

[risingsun]

Ha ha looks pretty crude but effective. Blanket not big enough but had to leave for door access anyhow. I do have it wrapped with reflective under the blanket also, because I do most of my sausage / jerky.during cold weather months

I am sure it works just fine. Simple is great

Are you able to fit a 25 lb batch in it ?

25# is great. 50# is too crowded

 

[MuleyMadness]

Do you guys with the smoker builds,, is the head source inside the smoker >? or outside ? and tubed in ? any advantages having it outside ? I only plan on smoking meat so a cold smoke cheese or something is of no concern to me

Heat source is inside.

I have a 3x3x7 that I use when doing large batches ( holds 200# ), I just put a Bayou turkey fryer burner under the 3/16" steel plate and put dampened dust right on top of plate.

Lol,looks like my old shitter (out house) at the lake,best view on the island from there.

I second "pit boss" free standing vertical smoker,plenty of room to hang sausage, holds heat great year around.sauage,smoked duck/goose excellent.

I converted this old fridge into a smokehouse about 15 years ago I can do about 70 lbs sausage at a time. I use a old hot plate with a metal table on top to get the chips just smoldering. I smoke at 140-160 deg just for the smoke flavor. Has worked well for me and the others I have loaned it out to over the years. Stripped out the fridge internals and then lined the whole inside with plywood, run a couple smoke cycles thru it to season and then off to the races.

Dad made large plow type disk with weed type propane burner under it to control flame and we use shredded types of wood soaked in water and 100 gallon propane tank outside works good and industrial 8" dial temperature prop that goes inside about 24" to monitor heat roof is 7 feet inside plate is about 24" off ground works great. Again building is 6' x 6' square with vents too. Seen lots on frig and commercial style stainless cooler gutted out work good and use really wood in bottom as above. we have smoked just about any and everything possibe.

If you can still find an old steel lined fridge or upright freezer they work excellant for home made smokers. We used to have an old upright freezer and smoked a ton of meat and fish year round in it with just an electric hot plate. Worked awesome.

What are the jalapenos stuffed with?

 

[tikkalover]

This is for a dozen jalapeños.

8oz. cream cheese, 1 cup shredded cheese, (the rest of the ingredients are to taste), chopped up cooked bacon, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, pepper and a little salt.

To soften up the cream cheese I usually add a little milk but didn't have any at the time I made this today, so I added a little sour cream with chives to the cream cheese.

Used to wrap them with bacon but that was messy and most of the time the bacon wasn't crispy enough, so now just add the chopped cooked bacon to the cream cheese.

Masterbuilt 40, gutted out. Use Auber PID temp controller and have mailbox modification to burn pellets or dust.
Not a facebooker but you can find used on there or marketplace pretty reasonable at times. An Auber controller is about $150 but will keep your temps within 2-3° of your set temp.

This.

Here's mine.

@guywhofishes , sure like that setup you got there

 

[Ruttin]

I bought a food warmer that was not working. Reversed the venting fans to suck the smoke out. Purchased a pellet box from Amazon and wallah...homemade pellet smoker for under $300.
