Hello from sunny Suffolk
Posted: 21 Jun 2015, 21:45Hi
My name is Jay and I've just got into the whole low and slow thing. Inspired by the Alton Brown YouTube vid, I've built myself a pot smoker (43 cm pot and dome for £25) I originally used a butchered single 1200w analogue controlled hotplate which worked pretty well with some baby backs (damn they were so good, even after dropping them inside the smoker!) and then some half pound cheese-in-the middle burgers. Setting the correct temperature was a real bind with analogue so I've just bought a PID controller & SSR to use with a K-type probe. Using some old timber I had laying about, I've also built a little surround for it
Looking forward to trying out all the different cuts and hoping we get enough Summer to actually do it! Really liking this forum and hope to learn lots from you all and maybe contribute a little myself at some point And Ii there's any DIY electric smokers out there with tips, I'd be glad to hear from you!
