processhead great! I’ve got a huge propane burner that I’ve used for heating up a 55 gallon drum for scalding pigs, but I’d really like to find something that has a thermostat and will regulate temp on its own if possible. I’m definitely only interested in propane options. I’m not opposed to sitting next to the smoker for hours slight adjusting the amount of gas, but if there’s a better option I’d rather go ahead with it.
I’ve used Eco Cure from the Sausage maker to make smoked sausages before and it turned out great. I’m planning on making summer sausage with it soon. It does not have any nitrites in it.

processhead thank you for your response. I don’t think that I want to insulate and I won’t be adding any interior sheeting because right now the interior width is exactly the same as my walk in cooler. I plan on smoking lots of sausage with temperature 120-190. I also plan on cold smoking hams and bacon. By cold smoke, I mean virtually no extra heat added so that the meat remains raw but cured this is also why I added some windows that will be covered with sheeting as well and opened when cold smoking.
