- g'day everybody .well i have just about finished my sausage smoker i have been making out of a old fridge.been working on it for a while now. as i was telling you in my 1st post it was just to hard to find a smoker hear in oz.most of the bbq shops .have never seen one in there life .lol .and you just cant get one .so i took some ideas off you guys and did the best i could . when i pulled out the plastic from the inside of the fridge .it was all yellow Styrofoam underneath .so i shaved it till it was even and lined the hole inside with sheet metal.and went from there. all i have to do know is put some lower racks in it.and paint the outside with a white spray pack. and take a little more off the chimley .so i am down to this part and need your advise .(HEATING) ok what i want to do with this smoker .is smoke sausage and dry sausage like the kranskys i have been making and drying them in my oven.and also hot smoke some fresh sausage . so would this set up work as a hot smoker and a cold smoker ?? .i need some advice on how to heat this mother .(i want to use charcoal and wood chips for smoke)
