    if you can tear the wood off with all the tar and insulation on it that would be best. Your not going to want the wood on there anyways.

    Fridge build # 2

    Will be my first build with a finned strip, it gets glowing red and the company i ordered it from said it will work just fine for my application. Several guys on this forum have used them with success.

If your going to go with and Auberins controller defintiely worht the few extra $$ and getting the duel probe, http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=381 . No point limiting yourself. The duel probes takes all the guess work out of everything. ...

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    Agree with Dave, seems that there is likely an issue getting the hot air into the smoke house from the lower chamber.  Worth testing the element, but looks more like an issue with the separate compartments and flow through.

    Fridge build # 2

    the one on the right o found on Kijiji for $100 and the other one i found for free. i actually have 2 more fridges as well, but one still works and the other one is large enough to fit the one on the right inside of. Not sure what to do with the really big one, might take it to the scrap yard...

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    hmmm.  my fridge is not much different than yours and i smoked 3 briskets outside at 225 for several hours with no issue. and is -30C to -35C. using the same element. It tames some time to get up to temp in that cold, but once its there it recovers pretty good and doesnt fluctuate at all once...

    Coolerator build

    Looks like your off to a good start so far.  If youre using the correct wiring you can put it through he back of your control box and run it inside the smoker to your element. rather than in the conduit line.  and IMO building a PID isnt orth it when you can buy the dual PID controller from...

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    few issues it could be or contributing at least. but need more info  looks like at least a 4" vent, might be drawing too much air and not allowing enough time to heat the air due to flow through., and/or your intake is too large.   you really dont need much on these size of smokers. how long...

    1920 Frigidaire refrigerator

    looks like a small opening in the bottom front left corner.  Most fridge builds id say electric, but the bottom compartment on this one would make a really good wood/charcoal smoker.  electric is easiest to set and forget with a PID control as JCKDNLS said. I am on my second build and using...
