Thinking of building a smoker

[antileno]

I just finished building mine i'll post some pics later. Mine is 2'6" by 2'6" by 4'6" and that is plenty big. I lined it with sheet metal i got from a guy who builds comercial freezers, probably similar to furnace ducting. I also used 2x4 construction and I insulated it with roxul fire rated insulation from the hardware store. I rigged up my own temperature controller for not very much money, I found all the instructions on the internet. Just finished my first smoke on the weekend I am able to get up to 235 degrees which i was hoping for to do ribs and brisket and such. I havent made any sausage yet but i think i should be able to get at least 50 pounds in it. I did some chicken and ribs for dinner on Sunday and they were amazing!

Well I built a smoker 4ft high 2 FT deep little over 2 ft wide , electric burner sittin on the bottom , my issue im not getting a lot of smoke from wood chips . Seems very warm in side still need to add thermostate tomorrow . Just thought it would be a lot more smoke. Might have to get a bigger burner?

I left a truck canopy behind at a house I was renting once. When I went back to get it the new tenants had decided it would make a good smoker. Needless to say, it was ruined as a canopy.
