I am in the process of building a vertical sausage smoker. It will only be used for sausage and made out of a 30" piece if pipe that's 5' tall. I'm wondering about a heat source. I have a old compressor tank I can use for heat but it would be hard to control the smoke and temp. I was thinking about a electric grate with a thermostat that I could set a cast iron pan filled with wood chips. What do you guys think. This will be sitting under my new she'd I just built for the smoker that I will set the smoker on concrete under.

I spent a lot of time trying to build a smoke source for my cold smoker. I use mine for sausage and cheese. The cast iron pot over a hot plate works but seemed to require a lot of tending to keep it going. I finally landed on a pellet smoker from A-MAZE-N Products.

I have the 5X8. it will burn around 9 hours with no intervention. Plenty of smoke for my 5' X 2'X2' smoke box.
