Another Fridge/retrofit

Are you running two elements? Hard to see. If so, what temp did you reach?

Thanks,
Nice job by the way.

Thank you would be an understatement, great thread!!


what was total list of items used in construction so I make sure I have everything.
hows it still holding up?

It's going strong, as for a working list of items....
I basically had a stove, fridge, and a sheet of metal. Drill and pop rivets, insulation. that was a bout it. Tried to recycle as much as I could to keep the cost down. Like I said about 75.00 in it was all.

whats the biggest items you usually do?

I am wondering if I could do larger motorcycle parts in there.

I will be converting another soon. A old freezer. Going to slice off one end and make it the door. That way I can add sections to make it longer if needed. Just unlatch the door and pop in another section. Hope it works out well.
Right now ummmm I've been getting a lot of intakes for some reason. Not very big but easy to do in the oven. Main reason for building it was I have a very bad back and stooping over with items to get them in the household oven wasn't cutting it. This makes it a breeze.

hello hobwed, totally impressed m8, i have been reading for months on building a oven, so your build has given me the motivation to get off my butt and locate a donar oven, i have earmarked various items such as a 3 droor filing cabinet and a small sized fridge, but i will be looking at baking no bigger than cycle frame. i will keep my eyes open for a large stand up freezer etc.
i will be asking a million and one questions with photo's when i get my desired donar.all the electrics seem very daunting, but once finished it is better than spending hundred/thousands on an oven.i have tried to buy a curing oven but have come to a stop on the net, being in the UK doesn't help either
take care to all
