Was lucky enough to get a fridge smoker from an awesome guy on this forum. Now I would like to modify it to equalize and set the temperature. For the temperature, I wired up an Inkbird PID controller which now keeps the temperature within 1F of the set point. For the PID, I wired it up with 3 switches, two plugins, and mounted in a Pelican container. Really slick setup so I can bring it inside when not smoking. The three switches are one to turn on the PID, one to turn on the burner plug in and one to turn on the fan plug in.
Now I am trying to equalize the temperature throughout the smoker. I picked up two fan blades from Acklands and two motors from AMRE. Wondering what everyone's thoughts are for the location of the fans. Thinking 6-12" above the burner (burner is on the bottom) yet at least 24" below the meat so it doesn't dry it too much. Anyone have thoughts to the fan location?
