A few posts ago, I described my attempt at building a PID controller for my Crock Pot to try my hand at Sous Vide cooking. It worked great, and in the process I made a PID controller that is an entirely separate unit and thus amenable to any later projects.
There's this excellent smoker on the market called the Big Green Egg, which is as expense as it is awesome. Its expense is enough for me to seek an alternative, which I found in Alton Brown's flower pot smoker, and some detailed instructions provided by another blogger. Two large 16" pots, a single burner and a day later I came up with this:
 |
| Single Salton portable burner, which I modified by removing the hotplate and dremelling the outer perimeter to fit the base of the pot. |
 |
| The burner itself then fit nicely into the base of the pot, which itself was seated into the burner's base. A single bolt which held the burner in place was extended to hold the whole thing together. |
 |
| Here are the holes I measured out and drilled in the pot to accommodate the burner's leads. The entire assembly is otherwise in tact and plugs directly into my crockTweet PID box, seen here on the right. |
 |
| Here is the whole thing assembled. The temperature probe is inserted at the top, and measures the dome temperature. crockTweet PID regulates the whole setup to reach and maintain my preset temperature for the duration of the time I set it for. |

| Smoked sausages! |

| Whole chicken before. |

| Whole smoked chicken after. |
