Guys
I need to talk to anyone whos made a fridge into a smoker. I'm turning a 1950s fridge into a pellet smoker to give to a charity that helps vets with PTSD and provides free counseling. Sorry if this smoker build has already talked about, I cant seem to find anything here to answer my questions. I have concerns on the insulation and the paint! so here are my questions.
#1: I'm planning on pulling out the old insulation on fear it might be asbestos, or is that even anything to worry about? if so, what is a good replacement insolation? I was thinking fiberglass insolation with Durock cement board next to the inner wall as a heat shield between heat chamber and fiberglass. would that work well or is that overkill?
#2: also worried about the possibility the white ceramic paint inside of the fridge, which will be the heated cooking area, might be lead based paint. does anyone know if that is a concern?
If you know that answers to these question please share.
Thanks
Dan
