its the old fashioned standup closet dryer so its all there ready to go you just remove the motor at the bottom, add a pan or wok of ti-tree sawdust light a gas ring underneath and away you go they even have hanging/drying racks allready in them, theyre really hard to find but we found this one under a old house for sale.

If you are using gas then I wouldn't bother taking the paint off, but you are better asking someone on the fishing.net.nz forum

if it's gonna get hot enough to do anything at all to the paint you'd better not be putting any fish in there

We used to use an old upright type 1 years ago (a bit bigger than a standard fridge). We did not burn the paint off and used to fill it with hams and smoke them with manuka sawdust. It worked great sitting up on a brick base(where we lit a small fire before using the sawdust to make the smoke) From memory the base was 3 besser blocks high.
