Hi guys I’ve been reading a lot of your posts on here for a while now. I first started researching ideas on how to convert a old fridge to a smoker about a month ago. With this being said I quickly found your members and their posts to be the best source of ideas and information on the topic. I wanted to restore/reuse a specific old fridge that we had at the farm because it was the first refrigerator that my grandparents ever owned . It was is pretty rough shape but I wanted to repurpose it just for a challenge and for sentimental reasons grandparents being long gone many years ago. All the metal I used for trim and door skin was 16 gauge stainless. I had a fabrication shop near me put a couple 80 degree bends in the trim for the doors because I don’t have a metal break at home. Other than that I just bought some of the metal I didn’t already have then I and cut and welded whatever I needed to make . It was a lot of fun putting this thing together and I’m sure it will make a good conversation piece out on my deck. Thanks again for letting me poach many of your great ideas to complete this project.
