    I know someone else that does that, I need to learn better reheating practices as I haven't had the best results, that and I guess we would need a second fridge.

    Nothing the heating coil just stopped working. For what it's worth I have been wanting something a little larger for a while, but this thing has been very reliable. The control board is still working but it will not come up to temp anymore. We usually do a couple racks, and wings or a butt and...

    I was under the impression fiberglass was okay it was the foam that would be an issue. I bought fiberglass was safe to like 1200 degrees. I don’t anticipate going over 350 and usually be between 225-250.

    I agree. My only real issue was when I wanted to smoke for a group, and I would run out of space. Thats the Main reason I am considering doing a Fridge build. Probably overkill for my everyday usage but it would get more fully utilized a few times a year for holidays and parties.

    Thanks! 7 year old MES. I have a line on an old fridge as I was thinking about super sizing an MES. I lover the vertical aspect and I did not mind electric so I am open to that or maybe trying a pellet pooper but most of the assemblies for pellets are very expensive. I can have this for 40...

    I loved my MES, it served me well for many years, several of those in a townhouse where room was at a premium.

    I should also say I am not dead set on a fridge conversion just trying to find a way to be able to smoke year around that is larger than a MES and wont cost me a forture. I am handy and like to try things myself btw.

    Hello all, not brand new to the smoking world but newer. Smoker died after finishing Thanksgiving dinner, so I finally decided to join to help me look for ideas for a replacement or modification.

    From that I have seen $50 doesn't seem to bad. And in hindsight I would actually ask how often do you go much hotter than 275? I only want to when I do poultry to crisp skin. Right now we smoke them then pop them in the air fryer and that works great.

    I found that fridge for 50 bucks so the price wasn't bad it's just a matter of can I get that any warmer than my MES which I think would be hard without pellets. Which is what brought me here :-)

    I certainly don't mind them, I know some purists don't like them but as long as the food comes out good I don't really care how it gets there. ;-)

    Also I should mention the board on my MES still works, its the heating element that died, which I may replace anyway. Just wishing I had something a little bigger.

    Don't get me wrong I love how well the MES works in the winter but there are times it just too small.. That's why I was thinking about a fridge build. Honestly, I had been looking at the older copperhead uprights but some of them see to have control board issues.

    Hello all, just wanted to say hello and that I'm happy to join and soak up some knowledge. While I am new to the forum, I have had a smoker for probably 7 years give or take. I have been using a Masterbuilt electric woodchip for that time. While I know some poo poo the electric smokers with...
