Well here is the skinny on my dilema. About a week ago a friend of ours bought an RV over in Missouri and drove it here. Here, she thought she would have plenty of room to strip it out and rebuild it. It was an old 1977 rv with a big Chevy 454 in it. She gutted that thing, too k everything out and even the floor. She didn't touch the stove, sink, or bathroom. But the rest of it was gone, even the fridge. She got it all back together and put in one of those electric fridges for college dorms, the biggest one you can get at Wal-Mart.
So here is this fridge in my yard. She came to pick up all the crap today and haul it off. But I told her to leave the fridge because I might salvage it. Its one that runs off propane or electricity. Needs a new gasket and switch for what powers it, but thats all.
So my wife comes out and see's she left it behind and I told her I might salvage it and sell it. No good, she kind of figured out all by herself i am thinking new cabinet smoker project, and she ain't into that. Ya see, I got a full size fridge only half way through the conversion process now and 2 SS kegs waiting in the wings.
But ya know, this fridge is 3' high, 2' wide and 2' deep, so thats 12 cubic feet and thats perfect smoking size right there. All I need to do is strip it, put a rope gasket on there, make some racks, cut a hold for the exhaust and add a firebox. I would rather keep this one and get rid of the other one. I told her that and she said she would think it over and give me the report in the morning.
If she gives me the thumbs up I'll take some pics and post them here. Heck, either way, I done called my son and gave him the spec's to weld me up a firebox and racks tomorrow at work. Ya see, I am keeping this one for sure and I want the other one still.
This be an excellant addition to a UDS and file cabinet smoker collection, plus the mini-drum beast (oh yea, forgot to post earlier, the ECB turned mini-drum beast now has a 6 inch extension so it can either run 2 racks or have extra room for a full size turkey bird), and the charcoal converted gourmet electric.
Be back in the mid AM hours with some pics.
