[QUOTE="dukgnfsn, post: 173423, member: 596"] I have an old refrigerator I converted into a smokehouse, and also use a electric hot plate. Built a metal table to clear the hotplate bay a inch or so and put chips on table to smoke. I can do 70-100 lbs and my temps don't get much over 160-180 deg. I mainly do country style sausage in this and smoke at lower temps for longer periods of time. I helped a friend build a smoke house and he went propane and used this burner from Northern Tool[ATTACH=CONFIG]14216._xfImport[/ATTACH]He could get a lot warmer in smoking temp, but had to figure vent areas due to the way we built it was to air tight to continue burning due to lack of O2. Regulating temp without buying a element for that is designed to do just that is tough to do. My dad is tinkering with old stove burners with controls outside of smoke house to be able to regulate the heat, to be seen if this will work. The size of your smokehouse is a big part of the puzzle of what to use to heat and how to control it. dukgnfsn [/QUOTE]
