Hi Tech Redneck and I have this one... it is GREAT for doing just about anything you want to do with smoking something...
I'm hoping by next deer season to upgrade to the 30 pounder that looks like a small smokehouse....

Plus, we are supposed to be making a BIG Smokehouse at the farm sometime this spring or summer that will be the size of the old fashoin Double Seater Outhouses...That 1 will be for doing hams, bacons and other things that will not fit in the small smokers..
I've had my Sausagemaker Smoker since 92-93 and replaced the heating element 1 time and will need to replace it here pretty soon...the heating elements hold up, but when you use them A LOT, they burn out just like a stove top heating element does!
I used to buy my smoking chips from Gander Mountain...but since they went to the Chunks instead of chips, I've found a guy I can get different types of saw dusts from that he gets made for him from a place outside of Pinegrove..We have also started to take small limbs from the fruit trees we cut down and let them dry...I found a guy who uses a wood planer and makes his own saw dust/chips to use in his smoker, he is going to make us the dust/chips out of our wood....
The guy I know who gets the saw dust from a place outside Pinegrove, has to get it in 55 gallon drums...he told me he would split a drum with me...great way to go when it is only 10 bucks for a 55 gallon drum and when you buy the bags, it is 4.99 for a 2 pound bag!
