I shot 4 collared dove off of the front porch today. Wrapped them in bacon and onto the smoker.

Mrs bo favorite bird in the smoker is dove and cornish hen(both recipes call for bacon wrap). One of the top benefits of owning and living rural. The food my yard/land provides me tastes good long after it is eaten.

My parrot would love those. If someone that I know lands a few, I'm gonna smoke 'em up and let the bird go all cannibal on 'em

I put a Sawzall , a grinder, and about a 5 cutoff wheels into mine so far this week. It needs to be done in 8 days, so I have work cutout for me.

All said and done, I should be able to do 10-12 briskets at once

You gonna do a build thread for that smoker? Sian even consider going stainless, that's a good idea.

I dont really have many pics. It was really a rush job due to moving deadlines.
If doing it again, no way would I mess with stainless without better tools. I lost count of rounded drill bits, cutoff wheels, etc.

It is a refrigerator that I got off roller auctions for $12, then I made accommodations for the pellet hopper unit, and sealed it with steel framing slip track. HVAC vent registers for the exhaust, with the holes sealed with slip track as well. Fiberglass rope gasket on the doors, and a LOT of high temp silicone (food safe).
The fridge components are intact as well, so it will still cool.

I bent a flame shield out of a scrap piece of stainless and used a piece of perforated stainless sheet as a heat diffuser

In a do-over, I'd weld together a box out of steel and not deal with all the insulation mess in there. (Although the insulation makes this thing VERY efficient. Burning for 3hrs and I've gone through probably 2lbs of pellets at around 200 degrees)

Nice work, sounds impressive.
