Hi all my name is David and I am new to this site and new to smoking. I don't have a smoker yet but plan on building a fridge smoker as my first smoker.

I was intially going to buy a smoking-it model 3 but I stumbled across a fridge converted into a smoker and I knew that's what I needed to have as my smoker.

I figured if I am going to have a smoker it should be something that is going to last me a long time, and have adequate space to smoke what I want. I have been researching all I can about smokers and such but now I am ready to step up and build what I need and start making some good q.

Hey guys so I drove 100 miles to grab my fridge today so I decided on the GM fridge. Since it seemed to be in good condition and minor rust on the legs. So hopefully will start to tear apart tomorrow.
