    old fridge smoker - works in cold weather

    Hi mulepackin. Just 110v - that's why I put in two aux elements - although I'm not sure it was necessary, in retrospect. I think you've got a good solution there - it even lets some smoke through. Thanks for the picture.

    old fridge smoker - works in cold weather

    Hi everyone. Just signed up today and thought I'd put up a pic of my new smoker, made from an old fridge and some old oven parts. The whole project cost about $60 - including the saw blade I needed! Everything was used and only cost a couple bucks, except for the smoking element (in the...

    Hello

    I've browsed your site off and on for the last year or so. I have a True North electric smoker (like a little chief), and am just getting started. So far I am focusing on ribs and pork roasts, and am greatly enjoying the new hobby. It gets pretty cold where I live, and I couldn't wait till...
