    Freezer appliance for smoker conversion

    I have a five cubic foot chest freezer in very good condition, except that it doesn't work. It costs too much to repair  and instead of paying to have it taken away I thought if anyone would like to have it for a smoker box conversion I'll give it to you. I'm located in Fort Wayne, IN.

    Convert a chest freezer to a smoker?

    I have a 5 cubic foot chest freezer that quit working after six years. The cabinet is in perfect condition. I remember seeing an old refrigerator converted to annealer, which gets pretty hot, and wondered about converting this broken chest freezer. Are there any thoughts about this, or...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I just used my MES30 this morning, on a pork loin. My buddies all have this model, too, and love it. I purchased mine from Amazon. I've had no problems and look forward to building an external cold smoker to run in through the chip filler opening. If the coil decides to die some day I'll just...

    New Smoker Fan from NE Indiana

    Thanks for the welcoming words, Gents! My 7# butt is about 10 hrs into it and I've moved it to the oven until the internal temp gets to 200 degrees. During the smoke time I threw a foil pkt of gold taters, sweet onions and banana peppers in to smoke for lunch time. Yum! This Newbie is having a...

    New Smoker Fan from NE Indiana

    Hello Quick intro; I'm sortof new to meat smoking and just purchased a Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker. A couple buddies also have this model and I spent a bunch of time researching using this model as a baseline. At the end of my search I liked the ability to add wood without opening the door...
