    There's an old refrigerator under my shed....

    Hi All, I've been a cast iron cooker for years and have recently become fascinated by smoking and refrigerator conversions. I lucked out and got an old Admiral refrigerator today and, thanks to all of your informative posts, have a good idea how to begin the conversion. Glad to be here!
