    New 1951 GE Fridge build looking for advice

    Your fridge looks almost identical to mine and the interior of mine was all porcelain coated steel. I've been using if for 1.5 yrs and no illnesses yet, LOL! I went with scavenged parts from an oven, works awesome. There is way more heat there than I need but the controller does a good job at...

    +1 on this!! My wife thought I was nuts, once I had it finished and painted she was bragging to her friends and family about "our new smoker"...LOL! I'm ok with it cause it just means I get to do something I love, smoke meat!

    Trying a fridge smoker.

    Trevdog, I'm not sure if you're still following this thread but I just stumbled across it. This spring I converted an old GE fridge into a real nice smoker. I used a 2500-3000 Watt broiler element from an old range. It works great. I didn't use a PID I instead used the oven control board from...

    Propane or Wood?

    Since I'm an electric smoker user, I had to chime in. Don't count out the electric smokers. I think of all the smokers they are the easiest to use. And the price of an El Cheapo Brinkmann (ECB) makes it a definite candidate for you. Not much easier than plugging it into a wall outlet and adding...

    Here's My Fridge Build: Mid build
