Thanks Beer B Q - it's smoking right now so I'll try that tomorrow. Any tips on what I could use to strip the old RTV?
Hi All, I wanted to share this with everyone - may have discovered the problem...

Hi All,
Part I
Multiple and intermittent 4-alarm fires!!! BEC is no joke - 1500 watts of unadulterated, uncontrollable, rage. First seasoning attempt, entire fire box area (lower fridge unit) A B L A Z E. Santa could've used it for runway approach here in the Northern Rockies during winter...
Thanks Gene,
Yeah, it was applied weeks before I fired it up the first time. I'm thinking it may just be built up cooking oil around all the rivets and it left some residue as it warmed up and dripped/ran... I never even thought to check for expiration - I usually bought a few tubs and used...
Nice rig Tom. Sorry for the delayed test results guys - wanted to hickory smoke roast the fridge for a few days straight... I started off with low temps 150 - 175 and slowly cranked it up to 275 - 300 over a 2 day period. I used high-temp RTV 500 degree fireplace door gasket sealant and temps...
Yeah - I agree... My redneck sense was tingling so I lit it up today and seasoned with lots of peanut oil and kept it fired up A L L L day long. I'm using a brinkman elec converter in it and kept hickory in the cast iron pot for smoke. Even threw in some charcoal bricks to boost the temp a bit...

Wow - thanks for the welcome. Not trying to steal any thunder from 'the original dude'...it's what I could come up with at the time. I will take a look and see about coming up with something else...I wouldn't want somebody else to 'infringe' on my reputation...
Does anybody else have trouble...
Just joined SMF a few days ago - great site! Been smokin' for a long time & like to build my own stuff - simple and cheap. I've read a lot of messages about builds and never even heard of stuff going on. Last project was +- 5K pounds and rolled. Current proj is a early model fridge - never...
Hi all,
I finally acquired my new 'old' fridge and just finished stripping it down to bare steel. It's in great shape and I've scoured the forums for ideas.
I'm not sure if I can use the old 'tub'. It's in fantastic shape, no chips, rust, dings, anything. Anybody know what it's made of &...
