New Project

Getting ready to convert a hospital pudding cooler into a smoker. Should be a sweet unit. It is stainless with all insulated sides and door. I just recieved my Bradley smoke generator. This unit even has a baffled inside wall for convection air. The origional cooler had the cooling coils with a set of fans blowing over them.
I just need to mount the generator, get a heat element and some stainless racks 18"x26".

Looks sweet what's the height on that puppy. Looks nice size. I may need to scrounge for something like that if my bradley works well, I could just swap the smoke generator over for larger batches.

Dukker: Welcome. Looks like a freon evaporator on top. May want to keep that for cold smoke. Very nice looking set-up. Keep us posted on the progress.

Hey dukker you have a nice thing going there. I've made quite a few smokers out of units similar to what you have with great success. I'd be more than happy to share pictures, information, part numbers for elements, controls, etc. if you need them. Feel free to drop me an e-mail if you want. Happy tinkering.[:D]

Big or small you can smoke'm all!!!
