    GM Frigidaire Build

    Ugly Piglet first Q view. Kind of strange, i turned the Auber up to 275 from 225 to help get over the stall, since I was behind schedule. And it couldn't get the fridge past 250 after a couple hours. Strange cause I got to 325 on the seasoning run with same weather conditions? Who knows. Enjoy!

    Makes sense… I will probably just use the door for now… Keep it simple I suppose

    The X method worked great! I think I got a little lucky though as I had to do only a couple shims. Hardest part was maintaining the straight door while putting the screws in. I would suggest that whoever reads this looking to do a build drill pilot holes, even if you have "self tapping" screws...

    Well here be the Ugly Piglet, in all her glory. Got the door skinned and didn't need to use a wood strip as a filler, so that is a plus. I used the X method and posted a couple pictures because sometimes it is hard to visualize for newbs. The only thing left to do is install the gasket. As...

    If I wanted do put a buffer strip of wood around the door to make tbeasier to attach the metal skin, would that wok? So it would go fridge door, 1/4" strip of wood all the way around door, then metal skin. Would the wood get too hot?

    I don't think it would have mattered. The way the liner is shaped there is like an in set lip then the tabs. IdK if the liner would have fit back into the shell if ther were bent. I suppose I could've bent @ shaved them a but. Oh well.

    I should've cut the plug. I literally thought of that after i made my hole bigger. I was like "What the h*** am I doing" haha

    Is there anyway to order by the foot? I need a 12' piece but have to buy a 25' piece which is $60. Am I miss something? Or can you only order 5, 10, 25, etc...

    Yea, we live & learn I suppose. I smoked my thumb with a hammer trying to widen the hole to fit the elements plug through & after that I was "I'm done, I'm skinning the fridge & I'm done" lol Should've did pilot holes into the bent lip.

    My advice to everyone researching a build... be Patient!!!! I now call my smoker "The Ugly Piglet", cause it is definitely the ugly duckling of smokers. 1. I wish I would've gone with the finned strip heater, but I tried to save some money. So i drilled the hole for the 1500 watt element...
