stringman Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Hi all so a bit of a lurker . Flit between various hobbies and obsessions and never have enough time to do anything properly! I have been cold smoking for a few years ( knew of Wade from other forums and teased him with talk of my uuni !) but want to try and up my game. I have a simple wooden chamber with remote fire box set up bought from ebay several years ago but it is now past its best and not really big enough. Since i struggle with time etc and end up tying to smoke in the summer i really struggle with the tempratures. So I had this idea of using a fridge as a smoking chamber and started investigating ( or rather googling) and i have come up with loads of obstacles but they all seem to be fairly easy to cure . the problem is that the threads always go off on tangents and lose the plot. So I was wondering if i could ramble on with some thoughts and see if i am heading on the right track? 1st problem - plastic insulation could cause problems with heat causing toxic release the firebox will be remote so there should be very little heat, the fridge will be cooling. buy a industrial fridge or drinks cooler (stainless steel interior) 2nd problem the smoke wont rise due to the fridge being cold have the smoke come in at the top and have a (variable) extraction fan to move the smoke through some how "hack the thermostat " so that the fridge isn't fridge cold but cool That seems to be the 2 main problems. Can you think of any more and do you think my solutions are viable? many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
