Been looking for a fridge or freezer to convert into a smoker for a couple months now and I found this guy. I actually stumbled on this GE upright freezer in a shed on my families farm, had I known it was there it would have been turned into a smoker months ago.
Started to tear it apart today. Got it all gutted. Work will stall though as I find some aluminum to patch the big hole in the back of the fridge box and around the fridge box and then find piece of metal for the inner door. Plan to cover as many holes as I can with rack supports and the ones that are left I am going to use aluminum rivets with a little hi temp silicone to seal them and the bigger one where the thermostat as I will patch with aluminum and seal it with hi temp silicone. I had planned on reinsulating but after seeing how good this stuff looked I decided not to. I know you guys are jealous of the the pink interior. I also found to more fridges that I am going to hopefully pick up this week, one is an old Kelvinator that doesnt work and the other is an International Harvester that the guy said work. Plan to convert the Kelvinator as well and if the IH is in good shape I am going to clean it up and keep it as is, as you dont see very many of them around.
