    Toggle latch attachment

    The original handle on my fridge build finally gave up. I ordered some adjustable toggle latches but I'm wondering about how to attach them securely without having to dismantle the fridge to get to the inside. What did you all use?

    2nd build. Guess I'm hooked

    So I really need to stay off Facebook marketplace. I stumbled across this beauty and snagged it for $75. It is fully complete. The guy sold it because the compressor died. It is a Firestone, which I've never seen. No O'Dea on year yet. My first build thread is here somewhere. It was a...

    Burn in - tips and suggestions

    Looking at final assembly this weekend and hoping for a burn-in in about a week after. I am curious as to what you all have done for yours. I have some clean bare steel in it that I am going to be seasoning during this burn in as well. I was planning to treat this much like a good cast iron...

    Temperature question - more of a poll really

    I am curious what temp you all use to smoke/dry your jerky. I helped my dad upgrade his smoker with an electric element for more precise heat control. We put the meat in charcoal only for 2 hours then kicked on the heat and ran it between 165 and 175 for another 5. It turned out perfect but as...

    My dad's as promised

    My build thread - old GE

    Thanks to Slapaho for pointing out that I should include my build in a thread. Background. My dad has had this fridge my whole life(41). It was his beer fridge. Worked great. You could set it outside in 95 degree sun and it would still make slushy beer if cranked up. Well it finally died this...

    Where do you get your lamb

    This is a topic that has driven me positively mad for a few years now. I live in SD. A land full of livestock. We have a great butcher shop in my small town. But they don't carry fresh cuts of lamb. They have to order it in frozen. Here's the irritating part. Right here in my area is one of...
