Good Morning!
New to the forum and new to the concept of a fridge smoker. After seeing all the wonderful/cool builds here I had to try it.
She served me well for many years as my man cave beer fridge but sacrificed her life to be re-born as a smoker.
All old insulation and tar was removed.
This is before a thorough cleaning. Aluminum shelf racks, 1250 watt element.
3" ss stack and drip pan. Cabinet rtd and thermo couple for meat temp.
Two 1" fresh air intakes.
Aluminum flashing around the tub and to cover the inside of the door.
Here she is!! I found a fellow that does wraps on the side and had him do the door. I built the PID out of scrounged pieces and parts. Test fired just for heating last night, took an hour to get to 250, I've got some tweaking to do to get there quicker. Going to throw some smoke to it tonight and check for leaks. Thanks to all for the inspiration and ideas!
Regards
Mike
