Basically build something like this and place it inside the smoker instead of outside.

I intend to build the firebox out of 3/8” plate and place it inside the fridge cabinet. So the heat of the fire will be contained inside the 3/8” firebox and the this metal inside will only receive radiant heat off the outside of the firebox,

I recently acquired a massive double wide commercial fridge that has been converted into a smoker. The previous owner removed the cooler unit from the top and flipped the unit upside down. It had a gas burner with a wood chip pan in the bottom for heat and smoke. The guy used it for several...

I built a walk in cooler last summer and butchered two whole beef in it last fall. I am too cheap to pay for a coolbot so I picked up a PID controller off Amazon that came with a SOlid state relay and a $25 ac unit from the classifieds. I used the SSR to control only the compressor of the 10k...
