He cut the draw front off and hinged them then cut the bottom out of the draws, put a vent in the top.. Works slick, just open the door and slide out the racks. I think he found it online. Two wheel dolly and its rolling!

Yep, they are, but we burnt off all the paint and oil after it was asembled. We turned the heat up all the way, it got to just shy of 800 degrees, let it burn for about 8 hours. Believe it or not, the outside is still nice and cream colored. But the inside was all slicked off. My buddy has been using it all summer, Ive even smoked a few beer can chickens in it. They came out awesome!

I would suggest some reading on here. There is a lot of safety stuff posted on here about special burners to use if you get propane as several people have blown themselves up.

I use wood fired and attached a first day of spring picture of it. ;D
