I appreciate you writing that up and explaining it to me. That will definitely work and sounds delicious.

When I lived at the shore there was an old salt that told/showed me how to make one... The whole idea of the refrigerator rather than just a metal box is the insulation in the refrigerator keeps the heat in, so the thing works really great. I've done turkeys, hams, chickens and fish... all come out tasting fantastic. Glad you like the idea. :)

Thanks for showing me. You got me doing some research now.

Question - the 10 - 14 hour thing, is that what you would call cold smoked? Also what temp does it reach inside the smoker?
