    Hotpoint rebuild begins

    I gave her a sanding today, just enough to remove any scratches and a few specks of surface rust. Smooth as a baby's rear: Then I gave it a first coat of primer. I think it's going to end up taking paint nicely.

    Today's pulled pork (loin)

    Oh, and yes I do let it rest in foil before pulling.

    Today's pulled pork (loin)

    I take it to 195. It's not quite as moist as a butt, but by no means dry. It's turned out very well each time, so far at least. Thanks for your comments.

    Today's pulled pork (loin)

    Lately I've been doing loins instead of butts for pulled pork. I like having to deal with less fat when it gets pulled. Here's how today's loin came out: I flip it over and just skim off the single layer of fat. Here's a pic with the fat strip removed: A pic with a couple large chunks...

    Stove rope questions

    Scooter, you're a genius. That tadpole gasket looks awesome. Do they sell it any retail stores, or do you have to order it from somewhere?

    1960ish Rich Plan Freezer Build

    Very impressive work. How do you like that thermometer? Is it accurate? How thick is your door, and how much of the probe extends into the cooking chamber? Again, that's a fine lookin' fridge!

    Hotpoint rebuild begins

    I've got holes cut for three pipes near the bottom: two for vents and one for the power cord. Each of those is 1 1/4-inch. One of them is pictured below. I also cut a hole a 1/2-inch hole into the side, about a foot from the top. That will be for feeding temperature probes/wires into the...

    stainless steel pizza warmer heat source and other ?'s

    That was a hell of a score, Camper. JB, I'm going with electric, just because I think it'll allow more precise temperature control, and I've already got a donor heating element. Plus I won't have to worry about it going "boom."

    Hotpoint rebuild begins

    Here's how I'm handling the shelf system. These are steel shelf standards, attached with nuts and bolts. I plan to get shelves made out of expanded metal.

    Crosley Shelvador

    That bottom looks pretty rusty. Maybe you could put a sheet of metal over the top of it -- use an oversize piece, and fasten it up along the sides of the body? But before I sunk a lot of time, effort and money into it, I'd keep looking on Craigslist. It'd probably save you some headaches. Take...

    Hotpoint rebuild begins

    I'm making progress. The inner tub is out, holes are being patched, shelf system is being installed. Can anyone share what they did about vents and the exhaust? I'm trying to figure out a non-welding solution. Looking at maybe black pipe with flanges and fittings?

    Grease Fire

    Did your build have a drain at the bottom?

    Hotpoint rebuild begins

    I'm gonna replace the insulation because I need to take the inner box out anyway. I can't weld, so I plan to use nuts and bolts to fill the existing holes in the inner box. I'll also probably have to use nuts and bolts to mount some type of hardware for the cooking racks. Plus, my brother's got...

    new build 1954 wizzard

    Very nice work. Nice paint job, too. I'm trying to figure out a way to have shelves that can be pulled out at least halfway, without falling -- the way oven racks work. Did your first build provide any lessons that you'll be applying to this one?
