    My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build

    Here is a little detail of the surrounds I built. This is the inside edge of the inner box surround.  I could have just put a flat piece in there, but I didn't want to be catching/cutting myself on a sharp edge so I shaped it to the original profile.  Then I used hi-temp silicone to complete...

    My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build

    Ha ha, I've got half of it right then.  I've got the box.  The racks are part of the work in progress.  Right now I have only one rack and a sausage/fish hanging bar.  I have some plain carbon steel expanded metal that I'm going to try for some more shelving.  Unless I'm told otherwise here.

    My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build

    It's a work in progress, but it does work. It's an old Frigidaire that was pretty easy to convert.  The workings were very easy and straightforward to remove and left no big holes in the lining.  The only drawback was the plastic surround on the inner front and that held the inner door panel...

    My first sausage

    Man, I can't believe how much the spices have mellowed and come together in these sausages over the last day.  When I first tasted them, the first batch after it had been out of the smoker and in the fridge for 24 hours and the second fresh out of the smoker because I broke one unwinding them, I...

    Another beginner from Iowa

    Thanks for all the hellos.  I'm sure I'll learn a lot here because there is a lot to learn here.  I'm smoking some fresh largemouth bass tonight.  I think it's time to pull them in about 10 minutes.  Next up is a few racks of baby backs, hopefully on Sunday after a long weekend of work.

    My first sausage

    Everything did turn out well.  I wasn't too keen on the sausage spicing at first, but it is aging into it nicely.  Last night dinner consisted of a whole lot of sausages, pastrami and some home smoked salmon my sister's husband got from a relative in Alaska.  All served on crackers with some...

    Another beginner from Iowa

    Hi all, I'm new to the smoking game, but an old hand at cooking.  Prompted by a bunch of venison burger sitting in my freezer I decided to build a smoker and make some sausages.  So I did.  Out of an old fridge and using a homemade air pump smoke generator.  Made the first sausages this week. ...

    My first sausage

    Hey all, thanks for all the encouragements and advice.  I learned a lot from this forum and a few others that got me going.  I realized after I posted the smoker pics that I'm getting a bit far afield for the sausage forum so I'll start a build thread in that section in the next couple of days. ...

    My first sausage

    This is the heart of the smoke generator.  It's the air pump from an old hospital blood pressure cuff inflater.  I need to get a bleed valve mounted so I can adjust the air flow.  I maybe don't need it, but I would like to see what it does. And here is what it does. It can put out a fairly...

    My first sausage

    Yes, that's the fridge.  I don't remember the brand right now and it sounds like it is raining pretty good now, so I don't think I'll go look.  Ha ha.  I was planning to document the build with pictures and post a thread on it, but I'm afraid I may have come up short on that front.  I'll see if...

    Here is a picture of the smoker loaded up and ready to start the drying this afternoon. And here is the pastrami from today.
