    My completed fridge build

    Took me a while picking away at it an hour a time. But it’s done and I’m happy with it. Maintains temps exceptionally well. I bought the fridge for $10 in the local classifieds. It was sitting in the bush for years lol. Jeff

    Why don’t pros brine ribs?

    I’m curious to know why the bbq competition pros don’t seem to brine their ribs. When every little advantage counts, how can there be zero advantage to brining?

    Diffuser plate and shelf question

    Pretty much done the inside and ready to strip down and paint. Further to my question above. I’m planning on putting a diffuser plate between the element and the bottom shelf. How large should the plate be? As in, should there only be an inch or so for smoke to get around the plate or should I...

    Diffuser plate and shelf question

    Hi all, my build is coming along nicely. I have a question regarding the diffuser plate and shelf spacing. Is there a science to the positioning of the diffuser plate about the element? And then how high above that to start my shelving? Also does the thickness of the diffuser plate matter? I’ve...

    All mailboxes galvanized?

    Yes. In the description it said high quality steel. I researched further and it turns out it is for sure galvanized.

    All mailboxes galvanized?

    Hi everyone. I bought a real nice mailbox for a great price to use in my mailbox mod but realized it’s galvanized. It didn’t say galvanized in the add but it clearly is since the inside is not painted. Now I can’t find one that is not galvanized. I never thought this part would be something...

    Questions on heating element in smoker build

    Ok well not a huge deal if i gotta go 220v. I have a plug outside my garage. Is there anything fancy I gotta do for wiring a 220v element? Also, I’m concerned about the portion between the smoke chamber and the outer shell, where the insulation goes. Most of the elements I’ve seen have a portion...

    Electric element, PID advise needed

    I have removed the insulation and all plastic parts. I’m in the process of stripping the tar out of the shell. I’ll attach a few pics. Your question about the paint is one ive asked in another post. The inside is painted but I’m unsure if I should strip that as well. Some of the other builds...

    Electric element, PID advise needed

    Hey everyone. I’m just in the middle of tearing down an old GE fridge and planning for what I’m gonna do next. My plan is to put an electric element at the bottom and control it with a PID. I’d like to have the capability to get up to 400°, even tho I will rarely use that temp. For the oven...
