I'm going to build a new smoker for bbq's and such. I was wondering if anyone had ever adapted the thermostat from a gas oven into the constuction of a cooker. I think this would greatly reduce the amount of "looking" time if you could just set the temperature at 275 degrees and the thermostat would hold the smoker heat steady with the aid of a pilot light. I'm not sure if it would work or how one could adapt the valve to a homemade burner. I was just looking for some ideas. any input would be greatly appreciated.
