Re: Fridge Conversion Questions
Having done one of these, I would say add the extra 1/2", as long as you don't pack it tight it will only add to the efficiency of the oven. You would be amazed how much gasket you get out of one stove. I had enough to go across the top and about 3/4 of the way down the side. I would add in the broiler element right away. It really speeds up your heat up time. Mine went from 20 minutes to 5. I used the original control panel on mine. Just opened it up and removed any wires I wasn't going to use, like the top elements.
As for the fan I mounted mine on top. Used the fan that was mounted on the old fridge compressor. Wired it in with the light switch. Also placed the blade on the shaft so as to pull the heat up and force it down the walls like a ceiling fan in reverse. Get us some pics of the progress.
