NS 

You are my hero, my problem solver and your wife should get soe credit too !
that looks like a tight fit front to back BUT it looks like it fits
What model or part number is that?  Can you tell me?
This sounds like a project for tomorrow.
I want to be sure I get the right one though.

I will be waiting at Crappy Tire for the doors to open tomorrow to bag me one of these

Merry Christmas to me, Merry Christmas to me  9 or should that be my DBS ?

You can reinforce the shelf by screwing or laying a piece of wood over it or under it.

I have a cab like this (not for my Bradley) and have heavy stuff in it and solved the problem with the wood.

Its actually deceiving to look at. My wife said the same thing but the front of the shelf is actually curved. It sits perfectly level with no bowing. That's not to say i won't sag if i load 50 pounds of meat into it. But i did plan to actually make a steel frame for it to sit on to keep it form possibly sagging in the future.

For anyone interested in the cabinet my wife bought me, here are some pictures of the box and info.
Hope this helps anyone suffering from too much winter :D

OK, I'm more interested in the '64 (?) Lincoln in the background. That's one sweet ride. :)

[hal4uk]

Huh?  Where dat Lincoln?  Suicide doors????

[oakville smoker]

Thanks much.  I am checking my bravery index and deciding whether to chance a trip to Crappy Tire to pickone up today

[Northern_Smoke]

Good eye on the Lincoln. I picked it up in Texas for 3000 dollars about 5 years ago. It is all original an when i brought it home i had it appraised for insurance. Turns out they put a 17,000 dollar tag on it. Original paint in aw some shape and all that jazz. I rebuilt the motor and trans about a month ago and just waiting to get more projects out of the garage so i have room to work ha ha. The arcade is coming in the house after Christmas and thank god that cabinet for the smoker didn't take much more than a few hours ha ha.

But that car doesn't have much to do with smoking...now that i rebuilt the motor. For anyone interested, i monitored the temps of my smoker and cabinet. It was -16C last night when i smoked Canadian Back Bacon and then about 60 ABTs. The cabinet temp never went above 12C and the smoker came up to temp almost as quick as it does in the summer. The recovery was also very quick when i took the back bacon out and put the ABTs in. I did not time how fast everything came up to temp because i don't have any summer "times" to compare it to. But my real interest is how its going to preform when we get some real cold weather because -16 is still almost shorts and t-shirt weather in this part of the country hahaha

I se there is a base cabinet on the web site that the DBS might fit in
I am going to check it out
This would have to live on the deck with the gasser, the Bear chairs and some other toys
If I went the high cabinet oute, I might be looking to take it down in the summer

If this is the one you are looking at http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/3/HouseHome/StorageOrganization/HouseholdOrganization/PRD~0681273P/Suncast%2BResin%2BBase%2BCabinet.jsp, i think the smoker would fit nicely. If i remember, it would put the top of the smoker right at the top of the cabinet. But other than the height, its the same as the one i used. The only reason the wife got me the tall one was it was on sale for 89 dollars when she was there.

[oakville smoker]

Yeppers, that is the one I am looking at
Measure twice, cut once....   well I was convinced this cabinet was 30 inches high and would not fit
I see its 36 and I can see possibilities for this.  Tomorrows project for sure

[Oldman]

Very nice indeed...
