I actually kind of like the idea, but sure looks like you would burn the heck out of your hand when you open it!

Pretty common conversion up in my neck of the woods... I run across one about every 8-10 machines i find...

I know my Grandfather used to give away lots of old machines back in the day to friends of his who wanted to make a smoker out of one....we had an old Vendo 81a up at the cabin that was used to smoke fish... it was long gone by the time I started realizing what it was , but remember it clearly..

Wouldn't the galvanized metal give off toxic and/or unpleasant fumes when heated up ?

I believe you would have to weld on or torch gavanized steel for it to give toxic fums off, but a good point I would certianly make shure before i cooked with it Oo

      The door liner is plastic so it wouldn't last long.
Wouldn't that make the door handle pretty hot.  wow

So you put in a dime and pull a walleye out of the bottle stack.  I would guess the 81 would make a more popular smoker since it is not just a single flavor smoker and you can smoke up to 12 oz fish, not just the smaller 8 oz ones.

biggrin biggrin biggrin laugh laugh laugh
Thats great..

I dont' know how people used them, just know it happened quite a bit...  and again this was in the 60's .. don't think people paid much attention to what may or may not be toxic or "bad" for you?
