Smoked 10 racks of ribs & 5 pounds of boudin on it this weekend, can't tell you how perfectly it held temp. Don't be jealous RINCON!

Use the old drawer sliders for the meat racks, of course they slide out real nice. Bottom drawer is the firebox. Have to add a damper control on the top next, just using a slide gate over a 6" hole for now. Soaked the whole thing in olive oil & vinegar before we got it super hot on the first fun.

Wife was real proud!

Sweet...but where is the food pics?

Do you have to use a "Fireproof" filing cabinet, or do the regular ones withstand the cooking heat?

[doppelganger]

i'd definitely sand it down...don't know what's in that paint they use in the factory.

and what did you use to make a good seal on the door?

[huntdiz270]

Used a standard file cabinet, but it is a little older than most so its slightly thicker gauge than what you might see at Staples today. Plan to throw another layer of ATP diamond plate on the outside to keep a little more heat. Its good enough for now! Held 200 for over 4 hours.

Good call. I did sand it down on the exterior & refinished with high temp grill paint. Inside was pretty bare, so I soaked whole interior with olive oil and got it red hot for a few hours to cook out any residue left over from manufacturing.
