Off the top of my head.

Pid temperature controller
25 amp ssr
Aluminum heatsink for ssr
Project box
K-type thermocouple (not waterproof for sous vide)
3 prong socket for a standard pc cord.
Pc cord
Standard 20 amp outlet
Wire, terminals, etc..
Thermal paste between heat sink and ssr (although for the current use, i doubt the ssr will need a heat sink or the thermal paste, but planning for future applications)

To make it useful for more than one job, I'm going to add a jack to plug in my temp probes instead of having it wired directly to the pid (waterproof probe for sous vide, etc.)

For the blower/stoker.  An old laptop cpu cooling fan, old tv channel box, flex tubing, small metal dog water bowl,  2 toggle bolts to hold the dog bowl onto one of the vents, duct foil tape to cover the other bottom vents, an old cell phone charger that matches the voltage specs for the cpu fan (and the amps are close enough), tape, wire connectors, box filler, etc..

For anything larger than a weber grill (drum smoker, etc), you'll prob need a more powerful fan than the small cpu fan I'm using.

The crab was really good.  It was already cooked when I bought it, so it was just heated up on the smoker.  Didn't taste a whole lot different from warming it up in the house, but I didn't have to deal with a big pot of fishy water afterwards.  I bought the crab and filets at Costco.

My brother entered me into the local smoking competition set for this Saturday.  $50 entry fee $500 first prize.  The main purpose of the contest is to provide food for the people attending the town summer festival.  I'm looking at 6 pork butts (supplied by the event organizers) and what ever I want to make for the judges.  Brother wants to do a couple slabs of pork ribs for the judges.  I'll try to remember to take pics which means no pics.

There's a bar here in Denver htat has a thing that I want to try.

It's like a perfect ball of chicken breast, about the size of a golf ball I'd guess. Has cream cheese and jalapeno in the middle, and they wrap it perfectly with bacon, like it has a perfect skin of bacon around it.

Can I do it, guys?

Don't fret about it clams.  When I posted that thought I'd rather be in the field working ground.  The rain last night nixed that so now I'm free to enjoy the event!  It's going to be a beautiful weekend too!  80's WOW  :fistpump:

Oh man!  I really need to get off my ass and start doing some lamb.  I bought an Indian cook book a few weeks ago and it calls for lamb in half the recipes.

Taking friday off and smoking some pork belly and some brisket.  Never smoked belly before.  I have a whole belly cut into 6 sections.  Going to play with some spices from one to another.  One is going to be chorizo type seasoning, one is going to get some Indian base spice to it.  Not sure about the others yet.  Probably will try to salt and sugar cure a couple for a day or so before smoking too. 
And, if there werent enough variables in that already, I am going to use the ok joe offset I picked up over a year ago for the first time.  Really looking forward to it.

I leave about 1/4" fat on.  It turns out great like that.
