    Default File Cabinet Smoker

    Just kinda messed around one day and made one of these, very impressed. Got a old cabinet, built a fire, kicked it off it to burn the paint off, washed it down good, let dry, paint with high temp grill paint, drilled 8 holes in each drawer, made chicken wire grates in it, bout 3/4 bag of charcoal a tin pan with a chunk of red oak in it full of apple juice and apple cider vinegar in the bottom drawer. Cooked 40 chicken legs and 15# of sausage. Held 160 degrees in the top drawer for 4 hours before having to add more coal. Hard to beat a $20 smoker. Will post pics next time I cook on it. Figured you fellas would like to hear/see about it.

    That's cool, but most of these guys won't respect it. Its not a $9000 name brand side box wood pellet smoke tool green egg machine that reverse sears your meat and then boils it in a bag.....


    But there are a few who will read it and understand that sometimes less is more.

    Please post pics - I've got a file cabinet that needs something done with it, this sounds like a good use for it
