Smoker Built Out Of Refigerator

Smoker Built Out Of Refigerator FARM HOME Food 25-3-23 Used refrigerators make great smokers for meat and fish, says Dave Wessling, Breese, Ill. He installed a conventional flue pipe through the top of the cabinet and cut an intake hole for fresh air in the lower left side. To create heat and smoke, he uses a simple electric hot plate with a metal pan on top to hold wood chips. As the chips heat up, they produce plenty of smoke. Wessling mounted a thermostat on the outside of the refrigerator to control the temperature inside. He notes that because the refrigerator cabinet is so well insulated, it does a good job retaining heat. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Dave Wessling, 106 N.
