This is true, also the materials used in newer refrigerators and water heaters may be toxic. It may be cheaper to buy a Brinkman, Weber, or some other brand smoker, depending on what kind of smoking you want to do. JMHObstout wrote:Likewise I used an old fridge for many years. In the mid 1980's my wife surprised me with a Weber smoker.
Let me say this about that...the home made ones don't work anywhere near as nice as a commercially made unit. I'd hate like heck to have to go back to using an old fridge after using a real smoker for the last twenty plus years. Especially when "wet" smoking.

I have an old pamphlet dating back a hundred years. It has directions on how to build a smoker from the ground and a recipe to go with it. Can not build a cheaper one than that.

For those who ARE interested in the timeless classic Weber bullet smoker, a website featuring all you want to know, and perhaps a great deal more:

A video from the website ... quick start to understanding the WSM:

I use just a cheap Brinkmann charcoal smoker. It does a fairly decent job.............. This was a pork butt and a half-slab of ribs that was left after a meal (we ate one butt and the other half-slab)
These are pretty cheap. You should be able to find them new in the stores for less than about $40. With as cheap as they are, it would be hard to build one for it. Here's a listing for one on Ebay.
Brinkmann Smoker
The charcoal smokers are cheapest of the different types..... charcoal, gas, electric....... and about the easiest to use. With the gas you've always got to worry about carrying around the tank and electric, you have to have a plug in near by.
A few weeks ago at the Youth Hunter Education Challenge I went to, we had my smoker (charcoal) and another guy's gas smoker that we used to cook on (we got tired of the pitiful food they served in the cafeteria, so we started making our own. LOL!)
The smokers are closest in the foreground of the picture.
As for what they'll hold, I've had 5 big shoulder butts in mine before, totalling almost 50 lbs (precooked). I let them smoke for 8 hrs and almost didn't get them off of the racks because they were falling apart. [/u]
