    My latest build. 1934 GE refrigerator to charcoal/wood...this is how it's done properly.

    Here's my first build, I sold it ( and miss it dearly) but it went to a good home. if an of you are ever in the Monterey area, get over to Grove Market in Pacific Grove, with any luck, they'll have something smoking in it.

    Yeah, I hate those things, I didn't even take them when I was blown up by a tire 2 years ago! I was just digging a stupid post hole one day a few months ago, and something shifted...Fortunately, I didn't have spinal chord injury, just 30 years of building and installing countertops apparently...

    No, vertical flow. I've been thinking of a way to do that though...Maybe on the next one.

    When you wake up one morning, and can't get out of bed without mass doses of painkillers, and then in 5 days you can without anything...worth every penny to me my friend. I'm building them to sell anyway, I paid a $5,000 bill, with $1,000 in material, 50 hours of labor, and my back is 100% ...

    O'yeah, the paint job is actually Vehicle wrap... It's holding up very well with all the Rockwool insulation. The drain elbow is 2 brass plumbing fittings, the chimney is solid copper that I aged after assembly, I drilled a hole in the copper and just soldered them together.

    1940 GE Fridge Build

    Sorry for the long delay in response, I don't have many chances to kill time online...Thanks, I actually sold it to Grove Market over in Pacific Grove. They're using it for their catering business. I completed another one, just posted pics in the "Builds" section. They are getting hard to come...

    3" solid copper Chimney has a 3" manually adjusted damper as well. I found this under an old house while remodeling, leftover from old heating system, hence the dents. But it gives it character. I added a Solid copper drip cup and brass drip fitting to capture the condensed steam.
