Title: Re: Bad Idea!! Post by: SIGNGUY on August 02, 2012, 08:19:25 am 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..

Title: Re: Bad Idea!! Post by: briandr1 on August 02, 2012, 05:39:04 pm 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:

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. Title: Re: Bad Idea!!

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?
