It has been awhile since I posted here on this thread. My youngest son got Married in Dec, then we had Christmas, Then New Years, then a 2nd Christmas with other family members. The smoker has been on the very back burner you might say. As you all know I had the smoker unit I was working on just about done, but I was worried about the nylon rollers in the file cabinet. I was able to get a new older file cabinet that is a much heavier unit, has 5 drawers instead of 4 and most importantly has metal rollers on the drawers. I got it for free on Freecycle. It was owned by the State Fish Commission, one of their officers had it and got a new one I am guessing. They told him to haul this old one to the dump, instead of that he posted it on Freecycle and I was able to get it. Win, Win, he did not have to load it and haul it away, and I got just what I needed for my project.
Their Granddaughter apparently liked stickers, as you can see from the pictures.
The Fish Warden must have liked stickers as well.
I love the new unit, it is just what I was looking for, its old and heavy metal, it has nice sized drawers, and it has metal rollers, I love it.
Now I will have to start all over again making holes in the drawer bottoms and cutting in vents top and bottom, but I definitely think it will be worth it when it is finished. It may not be done until spring , cold out and other things seem more pressing at this point. I will keep you posted about any progress, but don't hold your breath.
