SCORED a free wood storage box...

[indaswamp]

I bought a freezer this weekend to use as a drying chamber to cure salami and meats. The lady I bought it from was throwing away an old plastic tool box and asked if I wanted it. I said heck yeah!

I needed something to store my hardwood chunks for my smokehouse, So this would be perfect!

After a good cleaning and rinse, time to refurbish. It had a hole in the lid, but I bolted some plate aluminum I had leftover from my smoker build over the hole...

Hole in the lid looking from the bottom after the plate is installed...I glued it down with some 3M5200...

then I put all my wood chunks in the box, and cut some more hickory to top it off....

Red oak on the left, Butternut Hickory on the right, Cherry and Apple in the middle.

I also added some casters from Harbor Freight ($3 each)..

Now I'm set! No more wet wood chunks!

What a nice surprise when I went to pick up my freezer!! box is roughly 24"deep X 36" wide X 26" tall.

As said free is always nice. You can't beat 3m5200 either.
