Plus you built it yourself. How's it working out for you? When ever you sell your place is it staying with the house? It'll take a crane and a low-boy to get it to where ever you move...haha.

The propane torch on the right side of the egg...that's just hanging there, or is it plumbed through the side of the egg?...

That is awesome!! How do you regulate the smoke/temp on the smoker side?

Just hanging there. I used it to light the fire. It’s a flame thrower gun

Temp is regulate by the fire and the firebox door. Smoke is regulated by fire. Putting a damper over the chimney causes dirty smoke in my opinion.

Nice. What was your final temp? How much time in the smoker and at what temp?

I had it set to 240 , It stalled out at about 180 for just under 4 hrs, that really worried me, but I pulled out at 225/230 and that was about 3 hrs.
I definitely had worries when doing it as I never did one. started it a 10 pm and was off at about 2 pm the next day. rested in the cooler till 5 and boy was it worth it.

Interesting... I've always used a combination of the firebox door and the chimney dampener. I'll try leaving the dampener open and see if I can still keep temps consistent.

What are the benefits to the Oven style smokers vs the traditional Top open grills?

How are you liking this setup? I'm asking because my Louisiana Pellet Grill took a shit a couple years ago but I'm still thinking about converting it to something like you did... Is it easy to control the temp? Would you do anything different?

I love the stick burner. There is stuff I would do different but mostly just cause I was winging it. It cooks at 275-300 perfectly every time.

Honestly I do not have a comparison. This smoker is the only one I have used so it’s a sample of one. I am happy with it as it’s really easy to use, I plug it in and program the temp and cook time. There is a probe to monitor internal temperature of items cooking. I have an app on my phone so it’s easy to monitor while I do something else. So far everything I have smoked tastes awesome.
