    The Gibson, A pellet fridge project.

    Well after a bit of a hiatus, the build is back on.  Finally got around to ordering everything I need, only thing left to get is the gasket for the door which I will order when I get the door hung again to measure the gap. Some notables:  I went with a AC Infinity Axial (model 1238) 120mm fan...

    The Gibson, A pellet fridge project.

    Haven't decided 100% on the gasket yet, been seriously looking at lavalock for the ease of self-stick.  I have to hang the door first to measure the gap before ordering the seal.   On an update note:  Will be ordering the sheet aluminum for the door and trim here shortly so should be back on...

    Guess you could, but are you not removing the tub to replace the insulation?  I pulled the tub on mine and generally is recommended to replace the insulation.

    Pellet Smoker Fridge Conversion

    Awesome, great feedback thanks! It does seem that the going thing is to oversize the exhaust on these things and add additional fans to boot.  It seems most of the successful builds with the PID have at least 1 6" stack or dual 5".  I went with a square vent on mine that is pretty huge as well...

    Old fridge smoker

    As is with everything, over do it for safety.  I'm looking at lavalock (bbqgaskets.com) for mine.  Easy, self stick etc.  You can also find high temp silicone and rope gaskets at places like mcmaster-carr that can be had at reasonable prices.

    wood stove + old fridge = smoker. Will this work?

    So are you planning on heating the shop to the right temp for the smoker?  Many variables would change the temp inside the smoke chamber not just height of the stack.  If you just want to use a wood stove as a firebox for a smoker, sure no problem.  If you are trying to do multiple chores...

    Polyurethane Insulation and Thermal Degredation

    In an effort to try and help folks understand the possibilites of what could possibly be an issue with using fridges / food warmers with polyurethane (foam) insulation, I submit the following pdf.  This is not directly about cooking and polyurethane, but working hot around it. In general some of...

    The Gibson, A pellet fridge project.

    Thanks,  trust me when I said the build went on a hiatus trying to figure out what I wanted to do for shelving!  I kept getting new ideas and running them through but nothing really stuck until I found those shelves and brackets.  Sometimes it's the surprising things that work out the best.

    The Gibson, A pellet fridge project.

    Little more progress.  Controller / hopper wired up.  Tested all the wiring, hopper seems to be working correctly. Also got the switches wired in as well as the socket.  Now just to paint the covers to match all the other trim. Ooh getting so close!  Just have to: Get ventilation system...

    IH Fridge Conversion Undecided, Charcoal or Electric.

    Charcoal with a BBQ Guru!  No reason other than I don't think I've seen one setup in a fridge yet, would be neat. On thing to consider on a temp controlled setup, with everything else that goes into converting a fridge, I think you may be hard pressed to meet that budget.  When all is said and...

    The Gibson, A pellet fridge project.

    I am making the harness to extend the controller myself.  It's just a couple of small guage wires, nothing complicated. On to the handle.  I want to do everything on here to the best quality possible within reason.  I'm already into this thing for somewhere around $1000 so when it came to the...
