Howdy all,
I've lurked about for a few years off and on and just thought I'd
stick my nose in and say equipment is really secondary if you just
have the time and patience. If you don't think so take a look at this.

I got a thrill out of seeing your file cabinet smoker. I use
them myself and it's always fun to see similar creations.

I use them in cold smokers. Cut a few holes in it, hook up the smoker
generator to it and it's ready to go. Old file cabinets are cheap and
plentiful thanks to the dot-com bust. I use them for about a year
then just replace them.

Neighbor Dave, your rig shows what has been posted here many times over the
years, perhaps during your 'off' periods, namely that good Q can be made
in/on anything. Certainly a better use for the file cabinet than in some
lawyer's office!

BTW The ribs look great. Ship me some and I'll judge them!

One of Frohe's bywords is "it's the cook, stupid".
Unfortunately we're kinda stoopid round here and often get the words mixed
up.

I wanna make one of those! I have an old steel filing cabinet just
sitting around. How hard is it to cut the bottoms out of the drawers?

"It's the stupid. Cook."

That doesn't make sense.

"It's the stupid cook."

Better.

I'm a big fan of pointing out the obvious, ever since a high-school
pal neglected to tell me I was backing into a deep ditch because he
thought I knew the ditch was there. That said, take a look at the
drawers first. Maybe they bolt together.

Amen. As long as you understand how heat, smoke and meat
work, there's a lot of ways to bring them together that
work.

If you've got a plasma cutter it's real easy. I reckon you could use a
sawsall.
I found the cooking grates need to have a frame (1/2" tubing) for support.
The top 2 drawers are for cooking, bottom has the heat, one in-between is
just cut out.

What? Whaddidi say? I observed that it seemed to be a legal size filing
cabinet. I've had the same lawyer for 43 years. Either he's great or I'm an
idiot. Shaddup!
