    I dont really have many pics. It was really a rush job due to moving deadlines.
    If doing it again, no way would I mess with stainless without better tools. I lost count of rounded drill bits, cutoff wheels, etc.

    It is a refrigerator that I got off roller auctions for $12, then I made accommodations for the pellet hopper unit, and sealed it with steel framing slip track. HVAC vent registers for the exhaust, with the holes sealed with slip track as well. Fiberglass rope gasket on the doors, and a LOT of high temp silicone (food safe).
    The fridge components are intact as well, so it will still cool.

    I bent a flame shield out of a scrap piece of stainless and used a piece of perforated stainless sheet as a heat diffuser

    In a do-over, I'd weld together a box out of steel and not deal with all the insulation mess in there. (Although the insulation makes this thing VERY efficient. Burning for 3hrs and I've gone through probably 2lbs of pellets at around 200 degrees)
