After joing the forums I have been reading a little about ppl comparing to apple as far as smoking with it...

Nice, ill have to try this as I get a lot of cherry & hickory, some apple

I had thought about using a commercial fridge like the peg leg guy did in the YouTube videos but instead of dealing with removing and replacing the insulation in the fridge I figured if I started with a big stand up stainless steel oven, Since there made to get hot anyway I figure it should be a goo...
