Well, I posted a post a couple days ago. A guy was building fire boxes out of hot water tanks and selling lockers for the actual house or cooking area. The problem I see, would the paint inside. If you plan on hot smoking, sand blast or grind all of the paint out. If it is galvanized, I wouldn't us it. Once all paint removed season it before using.
Hope this helps.

I have seen a smoker made out of a 3 drawer file cabinet. The smoke chamber was the bottom drawer. Interesting to say the least, locker would be cool also.

it was just a idea ....when he called a lite bulb went off...but if anything like wd said would be a great cold smoker...would i still need to sandblast or sand the paint down if i made it into a cold smoker..
