Isn't there an article in the latest C2C mag about making a smoker? Haven't read the article but the pic looks the biz.

in the old days they used lead paint to coat every thing from walls to the cars. i have a clothes dryer the standing up one, it has the hole  on the bottom and ribs for vents and it has a open door with racks so i can hang kahawai etc. and theni place the sawdust under the  hole and set it for a hot or cold smoke,  i use brown sugar and salt and honey overnight, then i drip dry it and then put the hooks thru the petral fins and it hangs nicely i like my fish split with the backbone taken out and just the petral fins on. tastes nice to :)

I am presently making one out of an old fridge freezer unit.  Smoke up a storm in the freezer with a vent going to the fridge part for the smoke.  Easy as.  Already has the wire shelves.  Dan

I have a 25 ft3 freezer that will be turned permanently off in the next week or two when we get our other freezer back, its got a stainless lining instead of plastic, the plan is to turn it into a upright smoker and install it in the garage..

Yeah she's a beauty. Havent quite got the smoking sussed yet. I also use a stainless sink with a sheet metal lid for a quick smoke. Just sit it on the gas burner and done in 15 mins.

that big thing you will need lots of smoke, or it can be used as a cold smoker

ive found the bigger the smoker the more smoke you need to use. i'll post a pic of my smoker tomorrow when im smokeing  the 8 fillets of moki ok :)
