    filing cabinet smoker - finished pics

    I learned about the right tool for the job. Electric shears are highly recommended. Cuts the drawer bottoms out like butter. Academy had adjustable grates that fit into drawers perfectly. The one I tried with was too thin of a metal and wouldn't hold heat very well. Plus all the grease used for...

    File cabinet first burn

    Ok. That would definitely be quicker than this route. I can borrow one from work tomorrow and i have a fresh tank of propane already. That would get the job done no doubt. Thanks again. My brain doesnt work in the 30-40 degree range

    File cabinet first burn

    Hadnt thought about that yet. Sounds like it would be easily workable. Most of the ones ive seen are black already so if theyve been painted i couldnt tell. May be the safest route to go just for added measure. Thanks

    Starting build

    Made a trip to Lowes and Academy today for some castors and found oven dehydrating grates i think will be fine for my smoker. Almost a perfect fit on width but may need some bolts to hold them up if need be. Read different opinions as far as needing water tray for moisture and catching...

    filing cabinet smoker - finished pics

    Started my build tonight at work. Started with the tin snips for about five minutes and realized there has to be a right tool for this job. Dug around the machine shop for a bit and found a little gem called power shears. Theyre scissors on steroids basically and you can cut out the bottom of a...

    About to knock the bottoms out the drawers. Could have said that anothet way i guess but to late for that lol. Going to hinge the bottom drawer door to swing open instead of pulling out to add fuel when needed. Dont want to slide the drawer out to add fuel and be removing all my heat from...

    So far Ive acquired this cabinet and just "found" about 6 or so shelves from old stoves and fridges. They are all stainless but look pretty nasty. I would like to nail this project on the first attempt but i know thats wishful thinking. Still have a lot to learn as far as getting temps right...
