hi, new here but i have to say this is by far the best site i have ever been on,,,unreal the advice and pic. on this site...like a kid in a candy store...
i just got an old 50's freg.. i was going elec. on it with a hot plate which worked great but i also wanted gas...looking at the other freg, build and seeing how they took the inside side trim off i figured that with elec i didn't need to do that...so i didn't well today i hooked up my propane gas and who would have known that plastic doesn't hold up to open flames...go figure...lol...sooo i am now replaceing it with metal strips on the sides...
as far as stack goes...instead of dropping my 3" steal pipe down a hole thru the roof i just cut the hole thru the top took out the ins. and inserted the pipe, then i went inside and drill 1/4" holes in the ceiling which is inside the 3" pipe...works great and no stack hanging on the inside it just sits on the ceiling ..
this freg, has a lower compartment for pans i guess...anyway thats where i put my 2 burners from an old gas bbq grill... i attacked the knows on the front of the drawer....instead of cutting a hole in the floor of the freg i cut thru the floor from the bottom leaving the floor from the inside of the freg in place...the burners r below that...so when i heat it its heated thru the floor from the bottom...
i guess the question i have is do i need an opening inside the freg for air seeing as the gas burner is in the lower unit where there is plenty of air?
i also found a browler pan with a slotted pan that fits inside that works great for wood chips r water r both...i love that thing...
nice meeting all of you,,,sorry no pic...
also why couldn't i use an old elec. skillet with controls so i could just set it at 225 and leave it?
my head hurts from thinking so much but its so much fun...
