Pulled all plastic out like the drawer wheels etc. Cut the bottoms of the drawers out and put expanded steel in. Put two deep fryer temp probes on top two drawers. 3rd drawer is for water pan, steam table tray fit perfectly. Bottom drawer is fire box...Made a charcoal maze so you light one end and it will burn for 12 hours. Drilled 4 1" holes at the very bottom on the side for air intake...Covered with 1.5" round magnets you can easily slide to control air. Bought an exhaust flue online from a BBQ supply store and mounted on top. Covered the entire outside in 2 layers of 5/8 drywall, then a layer of 1" foam, then rusty tin. Mounted the whole thing on top of a 4 wheel dolly. Sealed the entire inside with food grade super high temp silicone. Used all stainless hardware as galvanized off gases. Used big green egg replacement gasket on all drawer edges.

There's a few pictures in this thread probably back in March or April


I'll have to look back sometime to try to find it.

Actually I recall a whole series of photos as you were working on it. But you deleted them from your photo bucket account, as I just checked. :(

We should really have a separate forum for cooking and smoking so it's a easy reference for people to glean info from.

What the heck is that on that Pike ???

Exposed flesh. It is a disease that they can get in cold water months. Can't recall the name of it. It is the first I have seen it but my fishing buddy has a few times. He was a little leaner than the other pike so I think he was struggling a bit from it.

Caught every species in the lake that day. Pike, perch, crappies, gills, walleyes and even a large mouth. Nice little mixed bag meal.

The looper was 27 inches. About 8-9 lbs. My fishing buddy caught that one. The coho are running small this year.
