Looks good! Now get smokin'. Looks like you'll have good capacity. What's your heat source and temperature control?

The smoker is propane heated,with a high volume regulator on the tank with a cast iron burner with a fine flame control,so you can cook salmon to a whole prime rib.

Hello
Does anybody know who sells insulation board.I'm rebuilding my forge and was wondering if anybody in Calgary carries it.
Thanks

I understand that "hoof and nail" on forge rd in the SE Carries some but have never been, otherwise I was directed to fire place stores. This is the advise of my brother, who found 1/8" sheet 1/2"board and 2"x3"x6" bricks. My own google searches point to these as the best places to start but finding time and having money never seems to happen for me so I hope I've helped lol

You might try a place called Ceramics Canada in Calgary. I picked up a few of those lightweight high temp kiln making bricks from them when torching up tool steel. I think I got onto them as a distributer from links like this. http://www.psh.ca/index.php?cat_id=160

So nice. Beautiful in fact.

I always planned to tackle a smoker. But I'm afraid I'd smoke so much meat I wouldn't fit into my welding jacket.

I do salmon and jerky lower fat items,but also I think my welding jacket is a xxx lol.Thanks for the feed back.Next project which I'm half done is a 30 ton forging press.
