Wittdog,
The smokehouse is one I built primary for cold smoking posted here
http://forum.sausagemaking.org/viewtopic.php?t=3353For the heat I'm using a 1600w cooker hob element, temparture control is by an electric storage heater thermostat rate at 107C/224f.
The steel tray holding the hob element is the bottom of the old electric cooker I salvaged from freecycle.org.
Insulation is provided by an old sleeping bag and eiderdown.
I need to do a few more mods, make a chimney/ flue and even out the smoke/heat distribution plus the novelty of wrapping it up in sleeping bags is wearing off.
The max temp I get is 83c/181f, I wanted to see if it was possible to use a wooden cabinet for low temparture hot smoking.
I have a WSM for hotter smokes, which I converted to electric heating using the same method.
At the moment it's cold smoking a Xmas ham.
