Use 3 long pallets to form the sides. Two small ones can form the base and roof. Nail battens in place to hold the shelves. Cob in and around every surface of the pallets, so that they are completely encased in cob. You may want to cover the wood in chicken wire, so the cob will adhere better. Now you have a cob oven style smoker or dehydrator that will store quite a bit of solar heat or RMH heat etc. A glass door faces south if it's a dehydrator. A metal clad door for a smoker. Ventilate it. A solar collector could make it work faster. It needs a rain hat during wet weather.
Used as a dehydrator, this unit would dry out really well when not in use, so that it is super thirsty when required. It would store heat and continue working into the night. Most problems with mold have to do with a stoppage of air flow at night. Problem solved. It should be black inside and out.
Bam! Knocked that one out of the park.

I am pretty sure you shouldn't use refrigerator shelves for anything that will heat up...seems like i remember hearing about people being poisoned from (chromium?cadmium?) being released with heat??? I think it was when using them over a camp fire though and maybe just in older shelves.
(If you do post it there as well, I have some ideas to bounce off you related directly to smokers.) I appreciate your sharing your resourceful ideas with us!

Carrying the gabion thing a little further
--- Gabion pallet animal shelter ---
Build this as you would build a shed from pallets. Fill the walls with rubble rock. Stucco or earth plaster the outside. This would give excellent predator protection even without stucco. It could be movable using an L-lock. Windy places with hot days and cold nights would benefit most. The shelter would present a welcome reprieve from the heat of the day and from frigid nights. Sheep and goats who read this already want one.
Unheated workshops and sheds would also benefit from thermal mass and tough theft resistant walls.
