I have come into a compact refridgerator that no longer works. Compressor andeverything has been removed. can this safely be used as a cold smoke box with the insulation still in? What are your thoughts on this. I dont think the insulation can be removed .Thanks
Should work fine. I know a lot of guys that use an old refrig or freezer as a smoker - they work nice because they are already set up with racks.
i see you plan to use it for cold smoking and that is my recommendation. Hot smoking may cause the plastic interior and insulation to off-gas some bad stuff.
Are you planning to use a Bradley smoke generator?
Thanks aces @ eights, My plan is to use it just like a cardboard box setup. Don't know if the smoke gen. will make it hot enough to gass off or not If it will work its a nice looking box. Black like the bradley only bigger.

Looks like a good plan to me, I can't see any problems cold smoking in this way. :)
