hello everyone
i need help my electric smoker is dead i am thinking of making one out of an old fridge i have this old style fridge that i got from the landfill what i would like to know is a 1100 watt burner enough to heat it for both hot smoking and cold smoking i know i can get the temps up high enough for cold smoke but i was hoping that i could use it for both types of smoking
is gas a better way to go can you get the temps low enough to cold smoke with a gas burner my gosm only get down to around 150 degrees would like temps down around 100 in fridge any help with the gas unit will help a lot this is the way i would like to go if i can regulate temps and control temps for both cold and hot smoking
now if i decide to go electric or gas do i need a water pan
thanks for your help i will probibly have a lot more questions as this project goes along
