As a newbie to smoking, I have been reading and pondering building a smoker from an old fridge -- we actually have a "real" smokehouse built by the previous owner of our small farm. However, until I get more experience, I want tighter control over heat, humidity, etc. before moving up to the smoke house.
One question I have not seen addressed in any discussions of using an old fridge is: most of the old fridges with metal interiors are gone. What about those with plastic interiors? Can they handle the 160-180 (or higher) degree temps that I've seen recommended in some recipes?
FYI, here is a site that discusses building a fridge smoker:
