    The Gibson, A pellet fridge project.

    I've made mention of it, but not specifically calling them.  I don't know how much control they actually have over the development of the controller, and honestly custom fridges are probably too small a market section to really specifically market a controller at and make any money so I'm not...

    The Gibson, A pellet fridge project.

    Trying out a couple new things / trying to get the spikes out of the temp after opening the doors.  Trying a water pan close to the fire to be a heat sink to try and prevent the overrun issues.  Seriously, if smoke daddy would make some slight adjustments to the controller for these fridge...

    The big kahuna @ Chuckwagon Bar-B-Que

    Looking awesome!  I mounted my controller up high on mine as well, much nicer to fiddle with that way.  Good luck, can't wait to see more.

    Long time listener, first time caller.....

    Can't give any definitive advice as I've never worked on one, but I think you may be in a bit of a pickle with this.  If I remember correctly from others that I've seen the liner may be glued in place on the insulation.  Big project to remove.  Wish you the best of luck, hope it isn't that bad...

    Oh and the Beam Beans and Butts from today...  Forgot to take pictures after it was all pulled, sure looked purty!  Simple dry brine on the butts, injected with Cherry Dr. Pepper and some rub.  Pretty simple, but the butts came out great!

    The Gibson, A pellet fridge project.

    Haha,  well I did take a couple of risks with the exhaust but figured worse case the I could cover it up and go more traditional.  I keep trying different things on every cook like moving drip trays  seeing how everything affects everything else. Cook notes from today: I covered the fan / vent...

    The Gibson, A pellet fridge project.

    Good news about the cook today. Ran it for 15hrs (had one stubborn butt that didn't want to cook) and no burn back. So either the increased draft through the unit, the lack of additional fan or leveling of the unit did the trick. Really liking the exhaust as it stands. One interesting thing I...

    Buncha butts in the fridge today.  Trying out a longer cook on the new exhaust setup.

    The Gibson, A pellet fridge project.

    Well looks like this stack is running pretty well, temps seem pretty solid and without aux fan, hopper is sipping on the pellets. Guess a nice thing about a tightly mounted fan is it's a decent indicator of airflow.  The fan was spinning fairly well, while completely off, so the draw from the...

    Haven't tested the new exhaust yet.  Just got it painted, sealed and mounted.  I'll let the sealant cure for at least 24 hrs and then will probably give it another run.

    Exhaust round 2. Mocked everything up, now time for some paint and sealing. I realize now I was never sold on the first iteration. This is much better :)
