toying with converting our now broken fridge to a smoker though. i lose so much heat on the cheap thin metal smoker. |
I had an New Braunfels I got at Sam's 20 years ago for Christmas and after the firebox rusted out I bought a firebox for $30 from Kroger when In Ohio for Mid Ohio Le-mans. I then made a heat defuser and smoker bottom grates that converted it into a reverse offset that took a lot of fuel but worked great. Did my best smokes on it. Heated by charcoal and locust and almost always apple and cherry for smoke.
As far as holding heat better...Don't laugh too fast.
