    Galvanized steel

    The process was described in what you quoted earlier. It's basically hot dip galvanization. U. S. Steel GALVALUME174 Steel Sheet is carbon steel sheet coated with aluminum-zinc alloy by a continuous hot-dip process. The nominal coating composition is 55% aluminum and 45% zinc. A small but...

    Galvanized steel

    But it's not galvanized aluminum. It's steel that has been coated using the process known as galvanization, but with a modified molten liquid. Correct?

    Galvanized steel

    So that's galvanized steel, correct?

    Hot Point Freezer Build

    No orifice for the gas or mixing chamber for fuel and air before the burner holes? How will you prevent sooting?[/IMG]

    Galvanized steel

    I've never heard of galvanized aluminum. I have heard of anodized aluminum. Are you sure of which you are writing? I think it's more likely that you have galvanized steel or anodized aluminum.

    I plan to use the hole in the back at the bottom for adding chips to the chip pan, so setting the drip pan that low won't work when I'm direct smoking, but it will work fine when I'm indirect smoking, so I'll add the extra rails. But I still haven't heard whether angle steel would be cheaper...

    Propane Smoker Build

    I think this is the right spot, but there aren't that many people here who would part with one if they had one. I suggest calling some of the mom and pop propane suppliers and letting them know that you would be interested in buying one for above scrap prices when they have to be decommissioned...

    Gibson Fridge Conversion

    I got the inner shell cleaned up and cut the holes for the burners, the indirect smoke entry, and the smoke vent. Then I made lines for locating the shelves and I covered all the little holes from the old fridge shelves with aluminum foil tape inside and out. If anyone sees me doing anything...

    Gibson Fridge Conversion

    Is that cheaper than J-channel? It seems like it would add more weight and make the smoker more top heavy, but I would do it if it was cheaper. I plan on making this fridge fairly portable, with wheels and a handle mounted to the back so I can tip it back and roll it around.

    I thought about using L brackets, but if I don't find exactly the right width racks in a short enough depth (23-1/2" X 13") I'll have to do something like the dowel rods and cooling racks. Then I'll want a continuous shelf to slide the racks on. Like this [/IMG]

    Gibson Fridge Conversion

    How good is "furnace tape" (aluminum foil tape) for patching the small holes left behind by removing the plastic rack holders? I was thinking of using it on both the inside and outside of the inner shell. If it isn't good enough, what else is good for patching small holes.

    What did I just create??!! A few questions/concerns at the bottom

    I would worry about the glue breaking down and the laminate delaminating eventually. I like to be able to turn up the heat in my smokers without worrying that they will suffer from it. As to what I would use instead, if I had a metal outer shell but not a metal inner shell, I would build a...

    Gibson Fridge Conversion

    I started the conversion of a 1949 Gibson refrigerator. I'm hoping I will be able to use if for smoking in the garage this Winter. I'm planning to mount two electric stove burners in the bottom, one for smoke generation and one for heat. So far I've removed the inner shell and the door...
