I had some family visiting so I decided to fire up the old Frigidaire.  I made two racks of spare ribs and two racks of baby backs.  Smoked for 3 hours at 210 with pecan wood basting with apple juice, then rapped in foil and held at 170 for two more hours.  Everyone loved them and not a single person used any of the sauce I put out.

What did you use for a heating element?

It is an 1800 watt strip heater I bought from Grainger.  You can check out the whole build here if you are interested.  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/thread/91229/just-the-beginning-of-my-fridge-smoker-project

Nice job.

Your choice of wood is my families favorite for ribs.

Quite impressive idea about turning an old frig into a smoker. Ribs look great and making me want to get some ribs. Thanks for the pics.
