Before And After

Here are some pictures of the original fridge and of the completed smoker. Viewing them together like this just accents the changes that have been made to it during the course of the build. It's amazing how an old fridge can be transformed into a brand new smoker!

With a little ingenuity and hands-on ability, you can build your very own smoker with all the features you want at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a mass-produced smoker. My fridge has over 9 cubic feet of smoking volume and over 2000 square inches of cooking surface area. Buying a smoker with that capability alone (not to mention industrial grade casters and the other upgrades and additional features I built in) would have cost thousands of dollars.
