Default Evaporative cooling....

....is why I wrap the big cuts of meat in foil (you have been successfully trolled). Smoking a 17lb whole brisket over pecan and aged bourbon barrel wood chunks, and a 12lb pork shoulder over apple and peach wood chunks. Normally this is just for a random party at our house, but was asked a favor, to cook for a friends work party at his house! It's the only hobby I enjoy more than my orchids.

My wife bought me a smoker a few years ago. I mostly do ribs in it, but apple-smoke salmon is amazing.

Do you use natural cedar evaporative pads in your cooler, cardboard ones or synthetic? Does your cooler have an automatic drain and refill feature for the reservoir?

Are those commercially available smokers or something you made yourself? It's a little hard to discern the details of the design.

Made in America, started by a veteran that used his love of cooking to help cope with his PTSD. It's my 1st smoker, though some say it's not a smoker, but more of a "cooker" as it is named. You can buy kits to convert a 50 gallon drum into a smoker. This is a 30 gallon drum. They had issues with keeping temperature consistent in the 50 gallon so chose to go with the smaller option. I absolutely love it, simple to use, ample amounts of YouTube videos to help get started. I've smoked brisket, ribs, pork shoulder, rack of lamb, sausages, pizza, and my favorite so far, prime rib.

Another big advantage to this vs other "smokers" is the meat hangs vertically, hung from hooks. With a relatively small footprint, I can easily cook 8 full racks of ribs, or 2 full briskets, etc..
