My New Smoker Project

[Dark Cloud]

Finally got my hands on a fridge/freezer to convert into a smoker! Not sure If I want to go electric or not?

Not sure where I'll find time to work on it either... but it is in my posession and was free!

It is huge! Inside dimensions are 5ft and 24in by 24in...

Im leaning towards electric with a thermostat...

If it is double walled and well insulated which it probably is I would go electric. Much easier to install.

Now im worried... A buddy built one out of the same fridge, says it has foam insulation. Im reading bad things about the foam insulation and toxic fumes at higher temps. He's only doing fish at low temps. I'd like to be able to run slightly higher temps. Guess I gotta research some more and start taking this thing apart...

If it has foam watch out. I work in a foam fabrecation Dept. and the Fire Dept. is told, if our area starts on fire let it burn and we are told to get out and dont stop to help anyone. The fumes are really bad.

Maybe you can remove the foam ? If not, get something different.

Sorry

Just to let you know I work with polyethalene and polyurathene. Not sure if I spelled that right but they are both real bad for fumes.
