Cure chamber cooling

[SKade]

I have an old commercial refrigerator that I was planning on turning into a smoker. I have two smokers already and thought that this might be better used as a cureing chamber as I currently don’t have one and want one. The only downside is the refrigeration part doesn’t work. Is there some way to cool it without the existing compressor? It will be stored in the basement so it should be pretty close to the necessary range.

@JC in GB may be able to help you. He made his own cooling system.

Thanks. I just read through his posts. I’m going to look into it. I need to expand my knowledge on how his system works.
