Flyboy,
Where have you been? I haven't seen anymore pics from your fridge project. At your pace I figured you'd have several Qviews posted from it.
Probably like me and got busy, I was able to work some on my fridge this weekend posted some pics on my original post.
Hope all is well and...
Well its been almost a month since my last post and not much work has taken place on my smoker. "Work" (that brings in the money) has taken most of my time including my weekends. But last weekend I had a date with me and my smoker. Got it all sanded, masked and 1st coat of paint. Take a look let...
Can you scrape the insulation out? At the local farm store here in Iowa, I've seen these scrapper blades that go in you recip saw. I would think they would work well for that.

I'm...
Flyboy,
When I had it up to 400 it was pretty warm around the door seal but its leaking pretty good from there (might need some work there). The rest of the cabinet was just barely warm to the touch. plenty of insulation!
Thanks!
Flyboy,
You've got that thing looking good. I like your shelves with the anti-spill device! Can you explain the purpose of the smoke deflector and what it is made of? I was wondering of doing a similar thing on mine.
Also, how are you planning on getting the smoke from your wood? Are you...
Well, a hard days work has resulted in a somewhat functional fridge smoker. Some of the issues I'm having are airflow/draw and proper amounts of smoke. Otherwise this thing works awesome!
Here's some pics of my shelves. One word of advise, pay close attention to the way you cut your expanded...
