But the damn thing is finicky on really low temps. I'll have to do some monkeying around on it.

My homemade smoker is pretty big. It can hold 9 big pork butts since it has 3 shelves in it.

For cold smoking I built a small box with a door that I put an electric hot plate in it and use a metal bowl on top of the hot plate to put in the pellets. For the smoke to get to the smoker I use a 5 ft. piece of downspout with a 90 degree elbow on it to connect from the small box to the big smoker that has a hole cut in the side for the end of the downspout to go in.

I can keep the temperature of the smoke box under 100 degrees very easily, but still get great smoke in the box to cold smoke stuff.
