    Commercial SS Fridge Build: My First Try

    I have converted a proofer and it has turned out very well. Still finishing up the project but hope to season it and have smoked goods coming out of it within a month or so.

    Commercial Food Warmer Conversion

    What kind of meat loads are you putting in it, how many pounds at a time. I have a conversion very similar to yours. I am running 220 power and have 2 elements totalling close to 4000 watts. All of my details are in the post "Food Proofer Conversion Is Happening".

    Food Proofer Conversion is happeneing

    Well, IT'S ALIVE.........finally. I got the door insulated with Roxul and lined with aluminum. The burners are installed and the control box mounted. Did a test run today and the controller worked great, set the temp. to 175 and slowly ramped up to it and held it there to within 1 to 2 degree...

    Ventilation Question

    Do you have an intake on each of your fridge or are they both on the same side? Do you think it would matter if there is not one on each side?

    Ventilation Question

    The unit is actually a food proofer and still functions, it heats and has a circulation fan in it. I plan to primarily use it for hot smoking. As for the bottom vents I like the idea of the round covers because they can be closed off if needed. My plan for the chimney was to have it completely...

    Food Proofer Conversion is happeneing

    So after a lot of procrastinating I am finally working on the project again. I have completed the controller and hope to have a dry run to see if everything works within the month. For the heating elements I went with two stove top burners. A 8" 2600 watt and a 6" 1500 watt.

    Food Proofer Conversion is happeneing

    Hi Welderdan, Sorry for the late response, my project has taken a bit of a back seat for a bit as I had some other more pressing things to look after.  It is not completed yet but I am going to go with the two round burners.  I hope to get working on it again this week or next.

    @redheelerdogI am converting a food proofer. If you look in the fridge/freezer builds, I started a thread there "Food Proofer Conversion Is Happening" it has photos there and what I have done so far.

    It is just a small Rival house hold slicer.  Nothing fancy.  The key to uniform even slicing is to put the meat into the freezer for about an hour so it can start to freeze from the outside. The pork is all packaged up and the next project is about 20 pounds of moose. This was only...
