OK, thanks guys. I need to digest this and check out some other threads with photos. Looks like I can get a variety of functions out of this beast, which is very cool!

The other piece is a really cool wok stove that would make a great rig project if anyone interested. It's really heavy; you can see it in this thread.

I like it!

Don't think UPS would be too keen on delivering that to my door tho'. I could use that for sooooo many things. I love commercial kitchen tear downs. If I was a pac-rat I'd have so much crap stored from working demolitions it's rediculous. Once on a demo project, I came across a 1 year old 100g nat gas boiler. Was tempted to load it into the back of the truck but, opted to watch it get crushed and loaded into a roll off instead. Wasn't brewing back then. Prolly a good thing I didn;t take it cause my gas bill would be through the roof right now.

I did take a deep well, 3 bin, pots and pans sink tho'. Still waiting for the kitchen remodel to happen so I can build it in.

If I was still in Thousand Oaks I would have gladly helped with this project...

I'll email Drew and get the details.

So if I am getting this right, I just insulate one section and cut two holes in the insulation; one high and one low. I have a fan that pushes code air from the cold section to the ale section controlled by a Ranco or similar. Do I need dampers or other control or will the temperatures stabilize?

I was just going through all my temp control subscriptions and ran across this thread again. so sorry for the late response, hopefully it helps

You have this right, dampers are not really needed on top, but would probably be a good idea on bottom. what I would pobably do is just find some really thick plastic or rubber (pond liner is a good 60 mil rubber) attatch to the top of the vent and weigh a little on the bottom, this should seal enough to prevent flow back into the tube...

Have you done anything to this lately? Do you have any updates? Also, what happened to that wok setup you have?

I have not started this project yet. i sure would like to get it done, so thanks for the information. Sounds pretty simple this way; I think I will get to it after the first. I love that fridge though.

I have the wok range in my garage and would like to unload it. It weighs early a ton! If anybody wants it, come and get it. Bring friends! It's a great project for the right person.
