Picked up a Cres Cor warming oven at a garage sale back in the summer for the whole summer of $1 dollar thinking it might make a good smoker. Had intension of using a different heating element and a PDI controller. Started working on it the other day and thought I would see if worked. Plug it in and the first setting heated to 130° it has 10 setting total and on 8 it is about 210° so I thought I would try using the factory control and built in heating elements which it has 3 of. If it won't work the way I want I will add the PDI and heating element later. Here are some pictures of what I started with and what I have done so far. I also added a Smoke Daddy cold smoke generator for the smoke. Any different ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I will need to add a drip pan before I use it but it will be close to spring before I have a chance to try it out.
