Finally finished my new BDS home for the deck. The smoker has always been too hot to work with ;D
Electrical outlet inside the cabinet, and outside I used a twist lock plug. Don't know about you guys but I'm always looking for an extension cord. With it being dedicated (twist lock) I can't use it anywhere else.

That's a sweet hotel Lumpy. Cute little chimney on the roof too.

Looks good Lumpy. I like the chimney too ;D
The top of the cabinet gives you a little working room to put things down on. One problem I've always had is having somewhere to set things down on.
Something is missing ... where's your snow?
That baby will be great when the weather isn't, nice set up Lumpy
Very Sweet and portable too.
Nice job.
Nice work there Lumpy!
Very Nice Lumpy!
Wheels are a nice touch as well.
Very nice...
Can you lock the wheels? (we have wind issues at my place)
OK dumb question.. Does the cabinet of the Bradley not get hot? ???
I don't own one yet but would like to soon, thinking of putting one in the shop like one I have seen on this site.
The lower portion of the back side will get hot to the touch, but not enough to melt plastic.
It's very well insulated..
Very nice Lumpy. All set to smoke!
Tommy,
You can pretty much lay your hand on a Bradley anywhere on the outside and it will just be warm to the touch, except for the area STC mentioned and even that area doesn't get exceedingly hot.
Thanks for the compliments guys.
As far as the wheels, the platform is just temporary until I build one that is full size. The new one will be a weather proof cabinet for extra storage. I'm thinking of using composite deck boards to build a frame and install wheels on it.

That is nice Lump
Lumpy,
That is SWEEEEEEET!!! Can you buy the cabinet at your local Lowes' or Home Depot?
Color me green and not just because it's St. Patrick's Day.

Hi Ray
I bought it at Canadian Tire, its a suncast.
Not sure if Home or Lowes carries it.

I got this one at Home Depot - http://www.homedepot.com/Storage-Garage-Storage-Storage-Cabinets/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xgaZb9nu/R-100120789/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053
I wasn't all that happy with it. It wasn't particularly waterproof. I think it's really intended for garage or basement storage. It wasn't quite deep enough for my OBS, including the plug connections on the back. It blew over in the winter - twice. But, the OBS was living in the garage at the time. I just took all of the broken pieces and parts to the dump last week. Gotta anchor these things >:(

All in all, wasn't happy with it. I'm figuring on building one once the weather warms up some.
