    First smoke in my newly built upright freezer conversion: Baby Backs and beans

    I am using this stepless speed control for temp control at the moment. I plan to use a PID eventually but didnt want to spend the money for one until I knew how the smoker would perform.  I was able to get it up to 290 degrees when I seasoned it.  It was 20-30 degrees outside the day I...

    First smoke in my newly built upright freezer conversion: Baby Backs and beans

    This was my first smoke in my freezer conversion.  Was very happy how it turned out, ribs and beans were good, smoker was very consistent.  Only thing I need to do is switch over to chunks instead of chips so I can get more smoke on the meat.

    Finally finished up my build.  Just waiting for the last of the silicone to cure so I can wash everything, rub it all down with oil and season it.  I learned alot of do's and dont's from this build and will definitely do somethings different on my next build.

    Made a little progress today.  Got the big hole on the back covered with aluminum, also test fit the sheet metal for the door and installed the door so I could measure my door gap and order the correct gasket.
