So it is winter in Maine, this summer I made a smoker out of an old 275 gallon oil tank. Works great but requires a lot of checking to keep consistent temps. I really want to use it to smoke stuff superbowl sunday but don't want to be outside constantly.
Got thinking about the different temp controllers and relays used in homebrewing you know for keezers and and HERMS and RIMS etc. And was thinking I could rig up something quick and cheap to use to better maintain temps in the smoker. They sell kits and such for smokers but they are a bit spendy.
I was thinking of something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/All-purpose...ltDomain_0&hash=item3369717de0#ht_3985wt_1037 then I would just need a blower fan, hell I could use a hairdryer for now.
What I am a little cloudy on is how to wire it up?
I know this isn't brewing but it does involve consuming a lot of brew And I need to order the stuff quick and overnight it or try to find the stuff in town to get it ready for Sunday.
Thanks for any help!
