Just fired up my RF smoker

October 27, 2020, 10:47 AM

This is #3 that I've built. I fired it up today and wiped it down with oil on the outside to season it and to prevent rust. Checked temps in 5 places, everything looks good. Gonna sell it tomorrow.

What it looks like

Here are the five probes for temp readings

And the FireBoard app (130 C => 265 F)

I was thinking it will be a shame to see it go. But I guess you can just build another one! Very cool looking unit.

Other Info
If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.

Is it just me, or did anyone else come here expecting to see a "radio frequency" smoker... I get it was used for Reverse Flow, but when I first clicked, I was thinking a remote radio controlled smoker, and wondering what I was going to see.

Henrik - Great looking smoker - hope you sell it to a good home, and make a nice profit.

Now that's an interesting idea - might conjure up some electronics gizmo that can do just that and sell it as an add-on :-)

Henrik the way you had it wired up with Fireboard probes, it was pretty electronic for the test run you took pics of.

Me too! Oh, Hell I'm already grown up. Damn - another wasted life!

I like to think I'm a fairly competent hobby welder. I can't hold a candle to you, Henrik. That's one fine job.
