    And Yet Another...Refrigerator Conversion! (Electric heat and PID Temperature Control)

    Bert, 220 VAC technically doesn't use the white (neutral) wire.  The solid state relay controls one leg of the 220 circuit (so basically it is switching 120 VAC).  However, I am using a neutral wire in this set-up, since the PID controller is a 120 VAC unit.  HOpe that helps! I really need to...

    Great!  Nice to have that versitility and the ability to switch between smokers!

    I agree...  Some of that foam stuff is bad.  I am....puzzled as to why all of his smoking will be less than 180 degrees.

    freezer conversion questions......

    I used a high temp, food grade, silicone on my refrigerator conversion. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/thread/105239/and-yet-another-refrigerator-conversion-electric-heat-and-pid-temperature-control   It is visible in one of the pictures where I"m attaching the gasket to the door.   I...

    And Yet Another...Refrigerator Conversion! (Electric heat and PID Temperature Control)

    Josh, Thanks for the reminder.  So far I have had several great smokes in the General E. I am still doing some minor tweaking...and learning.  I am going to move one of the heating elements to the front (they are currently stacked in the rear).  I am hoping that will give me more even heat.  I...

    Pepper prep Poll for ABT's

    I prefer to remove the membrane and seeds.  I usually use a small 1/8 tsp stainless steel measuring spoon for the removal process.  It's small size works well and the edges of the spoon are fairly sharp...so it cuts well.  I haven't thought about a tater peeler? Hummm....  I like a moderate...

    New to the group and have some questions?

    Jaye, I am 98% complete with my General E conversion.  I fired him up last evening for the first time.  I have been amazed at the PID temperature controller.  I have not posted an update yet...since firing him up...but will be doing that tonight or tomorrow.  He's been holding a steady 300...

    And Yet Another...Refrigerator Conversion! (Electric heat and PID Temperature Control)

    Josh, I had thought about doing the same (extension cord) thing...excpet that I need 4 wires instead of just two hots and a ground.  I need the neutral for the 110 input on the PID (I have no interest in using the ground as a common/neutral...hence the fourth wire).  My other concern was that...

    ...A-Maze-N Smoker is getting its first run in the grill… I have been reading all the great posts about it...got so excited that I just couldn’t stand it any longer and had to light it up.  ...as I'm typing this I'm thinking...such a waste of good smoke...just sitting in the grill... ...

    Here's My Fridge Build: Mid build

    Josh, My fridge does/did not have those plastic guides on the bottom.  They were on the sides and back and held the racks in place.  I removed the plastic guide/nuts and pushed the threaded stud out/back through the cabinet.  I filled the holes with the SU5005.  I had four studs on the roof...

    Josh, I don't have any plastic pieces in the bottom of mine.  Have you got a picture showing where they are? Travis  :)

    444, It looks like you, Josh and I are all working together on our builds.  I am intested in how the outside firebox works out.  Looks good!  ...keep us up to date!

    Thanks Al! I am hoping the elements will be in this week and I can finish it up and apply some heat.  Your support is appreciated!
