    Kelvinator--going for full electric control

    Recommend pulling out the run and looking at the insulation if you haven't. Have seen pics where mice have been in then, moisture causing mildew or stinking, especially when heated up. Doest take much to burn pellets. Look at getting a smoke daddy smoke generator or an amzn smoker. Easy to...

    Buy a plug and play controller from auberins. Buy the dual probe 1800w one. There is no home built pid controller I've seen built or plans for one that can do what that controller can. Using it on my second and 3rd builds underway for a couple restaraunts. It's the best and really not that...

    Continuing on my build, need some opinions guys!

    When using a finned strip heater (fsh) you need to make sure you have enough open air space and are flow around it. Unless there is a whole in the bottom of the sink or pan you plan to you it will burn it out Lets see a pic if the fridge your using. Might have some better suggestions

    What is this?

    It's garbage. That's all that matters. Rip it out and replace with Roxul insulation.

    For cutting the holes I found that a bi-metal hole saw worked great.  Tough with the size of the hole there already you might have trouble keeping it a decent looking cut.   Best Option for a clean and easy cut is to put a piece of sheet metal over the existing hole and secure with a couple...

    Looking for advise on 110v element/thermostat

    would recommend digital control. heres my favorite http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14_28&products_id=381 makes the entire process idiot proof. Mechanical thermos for ovens rarely go below 170F. They also require a relay which dont last as long, they cycle full on...

    1920 Frigidaire refrigerator

    You should be ok with the wood, make sure that where ever the electric element is put that it does NOT have wood on the other side or within several inches of it..  The walls might be ok, but when those element heat up the glow until the smoker hits the set temp. Might be easier to replace the...

    Fridge build # 2

    Should b ok. The company that made the element said this one will be fine. I also plan on having an air intake with a ball valve the comes in right under where the element will be so that the fresh air comes right accross the element helping it with direct flow.  It will have a fair bit of free...
