    Second Smoker Build

    Here's my second build. It's a GE fridge. Pretty much the same as my first. I reinsulated with rockwool, MYPIN PID controlled Brinkman 1500w heater.

    My frig build

    No issues cutting the sheet metal plate. I cut it with cutoff wheel. I drilled thru bottom of fridge and ran wire thru hole. Sealed everything with food grade RTV. I have made several batches of bacon, turkey, jerkey etc. No issues with insulation heating up.

    My frig build

    My inside dimensions are 24" wide x 14" deep x 48" tall. It heated to 250 deg in 15 minutes. I think it will work for a larger chamber it just might take longer to heat up. You could put stove bricks in to help hold heat.

    I decided it's to cold outside to smoke so I piped it out window.

    I have a Brinkman 1500 watt burnerand Agptech PID. So far it works great. I had it up to 250 degrees for 2 hours. I prefer electric over gas.

    Test burn is going great. Held 200 deg for an hour no issues. I am ramping it up to 250 now. Yes the bottom blue/green part is original metal frig liner. Refrigerate had a top freezer and liner stopped at bottom of freezer.
