I finally finished my freezer to smoker conversion.
Ran a load of snack sticks through it to test it out. Worked fairly well.
Now I just have to get more sausages into it, the snack sticks are all gone.

I did read it, but not being an electrical tech or engineer I got a bit lost on the electrical devices. So I was hoping to try out the salt and water in the pan idea first. I'll re-read your link to the wet salt info.
I did manage to buy a hygrometer, so I can at least take readings during my experimenting.
Wittdog,
I found my freezer on a local segment of this webgroup - http://freecycle.org/
Real neat concept. People post messages for things they have and want to get rid of and/or things they need or want. The only stipulation is it has to be free.
I posted looking for a non-working older freezer with metal inside liner. In one day I had three responses with photos. Picked one and went and picked it up.

Kind of like what would happen if you were to use wire cutters. So the damage may have been done. As it is, I didn't touch the freezing system and metal lines. Didn't want to do more damage (possibly releasing remaining freon into the air).
