Walton’s Test Kitchen & Smokehouse
I thought I’d start out the Bragging Board by sharing a portion of what we have in our Walton’s Test Kitchen. At Walton’s, we not only sell all the equipment and supplies to make great sausage and jerky, but we also spend a bit of time doing our own testing and training. One of our favorite toys is our Pro Smoker 500-T Smokehouse! We have our smokehouse outfitted with a wood pellet smoke generator and a WiFi control panel. This is definitely overkill for any home meat processor out there, but this is the kind of smokehouse that we sell to many of our commercial meat processors.
All of our salesmen and customer service reps spend time in our test kitchen learning how to make sausage and trying different meat snacks and flavors so they can better help you with your processes and so they can accurately suggest seasoning flavors to use as they have actually used and tasted them. Pretty much everyone at Walton’s gets excited though when this thing gets fired up! The smell typically means we will be having some samples and taste testing going on later in the day!
So, what about you guys? What kind of smoker do you have or did you custom build your own?

A More Home-Friendly Smoker
Another smokehouse from Pro Smoker that we have used that is extremely high quality, but much better suited for a home processor or backyard BBQ guru is the PK100 Pro Smoker Smokehouse. https://www.waltonsinc.com/pk100-pro-smoker-smokehouse
I loved using this smoker during testing and it does a fantastic job of producing quality smoked meats. Be on the lookout for a full video review from WaltonsTV, coming soon… -

I took a used warming cabinet added a homemade smoke generator to the outside and powered it with an aquarium air pump. Now have a low temp convection smoker that will hold 40 pounds of summer sausage or close to 200 feet of snack sticks. And it is set up to use pellets. Was fun to put together and more fun to use. -

If you get the time to, you should post some pictures on here of your setup!BMacklin stimy28 It might be hard for me to do a bunch of individual tours, but I can add this to our list of topics for an upcoming Meatgistics/WaltonsTV Episode. Should be able to do a neat video or virtual tour!
