Default Homemade

When we lived in NW Louisiana, several of my friends had home made ones, made from old single door refrigerators.

They gutted the insides to the outside metal. The motor and tubing were all removed. The top had a small chimney ( 3-4 in ?) installed with a damper to control smoke and a cap to keep out rain.

They were installed over a fire pit made from cement blocks and lined with fire bricks. A hole in the bottom allowed the smoke to enter the "smoker". Pretty sure sure some of them had temperature probes.

Really worked well, and held a lot of meat, poultry, fish, etc.
