Old fridge smoker

[mdb]

Just looked up Tempco finned strip heater, Auber PID controller and Auber fan for my build. A buddy used these for his build. It got a work out last year. Going with the Amaz-n-maze smoker tray..

I've always wanted to put one of these on an old freezer to make a big pellet smoker/cooker.

I plan on doing that with mine.

I ordered a hot plate this week . My plan is to build a 3 by 3 by 4 smoker out of ply wood and use the hot plate for heat.

I think Saturday I’ll finally have time to work on this thing. I bought supplies a couple days ago but went hunting

I was able to do a little work on the smoker.
I bought a new 4” hole saw and the second hole has it dull as a butter knife. There is a 1/2” layer of cardboard coated in a tar substance. I removed that from the top and bottom because I was afraid it would melt. Burned a little wood in there today for several hours to see if the tar stuff did not melt.
It held 225 for several hours. I have much more to do but the test was good

That dang porcelain on the inside on the box is a pain on the hole saw. I guess that $20 tool lasted a few minutes. Ended up cutting the vent holes with a cutoff blade

Redneck engineering at its finest!

Our dishwasher went out so I decided to use it instead of building one out of wood.. its gonna take some trial and error since I've never smoked sausage but the first batch turned out ok.
