Couple years ago,I help design and buid a smoker for a buddie he used a old fridge ,but insted of a hot plate we used a 30 gal drum cut in half placed on edge next to the smoker piped into the bottom as an indirect heat source it uses smoke only ,no heat took a weekend to build but man this thing rocks ...look at the brinkman they work great too for the money, buy the electric one not the charcoal model.
