    Starting my first SS fridge smoker.

    as long as you are all sealed up I wouldn't worry a bit about house insulation. Don't know if it is possible but vermiculite is fairly cheap. I used a total of 4 bags of it on my fridge conversion. even used it in the door. it really fills all the voids and also settles in very quick. just rock...

    Starting my first SS fridge smoker.

    I ripped all the insulation out of mine to be safe. some have done ok with the foam insulation.

Using...

    Starting my first SS fridge smoker.

    Didn't get too much accomplished tonight. Cut 1 hole in the bottom of the door at 2 3/8" and one up high in the back at the same width. Going to use 2 inch SS pipe for a exhaust with a damper of some sort, thought about the older tractors with the lil flipper on the exhaust. just tighten it up...

    Ok so tonight's project led into the door. I used a piece of 20 gauge SS. drilled holes every 4 inches and now the thought came about instead of using stainless screws what about stainless rivets. any thoughts on this? a lot marine places use stainless. Before I do fasten it I want to run a...

    my total inside dimensions are 27.5 by 26.5 x 47 inches tall. If this helps with figuring out what size inlet and outlet I would need I don't know. completely new to this and don't want to have to redo anything.

    Starting my first SS fridge smoker.

    when using the smoke daddy as my smoke source do I need a air intake at the bottom yet? Thinking of using a 4 inch SS pipe out the back and high with a 90 degree elbow. would this be sufficient enough?

    Starting my first SS fridge smoker.

    Found a older SS fridge laying behind a business. Asked about and was told if I wanted it to take it. So I did. I gutted the inside panels, ripped out the insulation. built the bottom up 5 1/2" inches to match the opening height with 2 2x6. Then I put in vermiculite to insulate the bottom...
