    I think I would place that a little closer to the house.  Safe, right?
    Love you bro!

    I competed against a team that was cooking in a filing cabinet. Granted they got dead ass last in everything but chicken.

    My only issue is that he doesn't have the drawers labeled. How's he supposed to know what's in what drawer???

    Well.....the house appears to be made of sheet metal so he's good!

    I see this photo a lot.

    I don't think a lot of people are doing this... I think a lot of people have found the photo online.

    It's clever... but my first thoughts are the same as @pgprescott and @milesvdustin ... I'm sure they don't paint the insides of propane grills for the same reason that this is not a great idea. Smoking at less than 300 deg F, probably, but still...

    Maybe someone would be willing to try smoking a whole hog in the trunk of a rusted out 89' Camry. Nevermind that carpet.

    Put the wood in the top drawer and the top of the cabinet would work just like a blackstone griddle.  Is there anything this thing can't do?

    Check out file cabinet smoker on you tube. Very entertaining. My son-in-law wants to try it this summer and I'm all in. The prep work is kinda a PITA but there's no reason it wont work. Secret is to avoid galvanized metal.

    After running a fire to burn off anything you might emwaorry about, not sure what the problem would be

    The stuff in charcoalnand wood smoke is no safer than paint burning

    we seem to forget that smoke is filled with all sorts of chemical cr^p, including carcinogens, carbon monoxide, etc.

    If you paint your coal it will burn longer give it a try.

    Interior of most of those cabinets aren't painted anyway, too

    Do you use interior paint or exterior on your coal. It won't be exposed to rain.

    Either one would do in that case. I would suggest a nice industrial epoxy paint. I'm sure the fumes are no worse than the coal. He it's a good way to get rid of your plastics too. Why hassle with recycling?
