My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build
Thanks, I've been trying to take my time and do it more or less what I think is right, but at the same time leave it in a relatively easily changed state too, so that if I find out I don't like something or it doesn't work right I can pretty easily tear it out and move on. By the end of the...- tastetester

My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build
That was the smoke inlet side, now for the smoke outlet side. I had access to a 4" hole saw so I used that to drill through the outer and inner steel. Then I lined it with the same aluminum material I used for the surrounds. I cut tabs in that and pop riveted the tabs down after bedding in...- tastetester

My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build
I know a company or two makes a smoke generator that works on this principle. Don't remember who, but I know I saw it. I took some of my inspiration from a fellow in NZ that had a video up for building and using one. This is my air pump. I keep it in an old styrofoam lined plastic lunch...- tastetester

My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build
This 5/8 inch copper pipe is where the smoke comes in. And this is where it gets into the pipe at You can't really make it out, but there is a 3/16 inch copper tube down the middle of the pipe that ends an inch or so after the opening on the fridge side. Air is pumped through the inner...- tastetester

My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build
For the heat source I used an old Farberware tabletop grill and it's 1500 W element. Before I put the chimney in I could get it to 350 or better with that. I haven't tested it since. I'm afraid it is getting dirty already. So far I've run two batches of sausage, 3 pastrami and a load of...- tastetester

My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build
Thanks. I was looking for a compromise between cheap and easy, with an emphasis on cheap. That's working so far as I probably have around $50 into it, mostly in stove rope and silicone. Speaking of which, I tried to think of an easy and cheaper seal, but no luck. It leaks a very minor...- tastetester
