Bionic, because we can "re-build him" having reclaimed him.
Have gathered the pieces not already used for d.i.y. or scattered to the winds despite careful storage.
It's not a thing of beauty, however it is giving me an insight into an indoor cabinet of modest proportions which can be stowed or assembled in a couple of minutes, (far less time than cleaning & drying my csg).
Spare wood from recent super insulation of airing cupboard (now it only measures 18 degrees in there, but yet to thinsulate the inside of the door, which will hopefully knock back the heating cycles some more), spare dowel, 12 years of screws & pocketed items that may come in handy "if only I can find em when I want em"
various brackets, hooks, bungee's & general hardware locks, good old cardboard boxes, making me think about edges with seals that can be locked into place guide straps you'd set your backpack load with or tightening down expandable luggage, ..just not yet,
The MK1 prototype smoke cabinet has a height (without chimney flue) of : 67 inch
Width:
Internal rack dimension: 325mm x 270mm.
Anticipate 5 removable racks in total (eventually)
Anticipate 1 dowel to hang that salmon from the top.
Airflow from the bottom (exposed) with a temporary
2(original) doors to access low & high level racks in an attempt to limit total loss of smoke output. when doors opened. ..may have to move one, thank goodness for dremel tools.
would I be ok sticking (cut to size) some clear poly plastic sheeting in or would it react badly? (big sheet left over from the "floating ghost hologram" effect for Halloween).
Would you use silicone sealant to form a better air seal around door joints?
How long would you allow any silicone to cure / air time, in order not to taint foodstuffs thereafter?
Should I use another gasket seal such as a ultra thin silicone coated glass fibre rope? (as per seals on a woodburner)
chimney will be a tumble dryer wall kit on a 90 degree ish moulded bend then vented outside through a window, possibly eventually a high pipe wall exit.
Mk1 is going to leak like a sieve!
(I SO look forward to messing around with a solid frame unit like a fridge, but beggars can't be choosers right now).
Pictures to follow, when I follow through (oo-er) to something resembling completion sometime in 2014.
Any advice for ad-hoc wire racks? or should I cut down & edge some cheap baking racks? (NOT the wife's).
