Good Looking fridge. Did you buy the pellet hopper separate or did you take it off an existing smoker?
1500W brinkman element was discontinued for a while on amazon. Looks like someone has stock and is selling them again. A little pricy but it's either this one or the universal with temp...

I started off using a weber kettle which I got good at controlling the heat but difficult when cooking for crowds.

I wanted a true offset stick burner, but couldn't justify spending $1000+ and I didn't...
