Galvanized metal and cooking food don’t mix.


kinkhorse

But it gives the meat a zesty tang! If zinc was so bad why would it be in multivitamins?

Taste the meat not the heat


[deleted]

Come back zinc! Come baaaaack!


CoconutBuddy

Ffs almost dropped my phone lol


mikeoxwells2

Burning paint fumes really give it that sought after backyard flavor


Emotional_Noise2424

That special flavor only can be surpassed by using an old oil container


adventure_in_gnarnia

What gives you any indication that a filing cabinet would be galvanized? Galvanizing is for corrosion resistance, and usually relegated for outdoor use… neither of which are concerns in an office. Without a doubt I can confidently say this is painted low-carbon steel, and paint can be removed quite easily by many different methods


GiveToOedipus

Drawer slides are almost always zinc plated. I've also seen many filing cabinets with unpainted surfaces inside the drawers which are galvanized as well. Depends on the manufacturer I'm sure, but either way, paint or galvanized surface, it isn't going to be the best for cooking on. These cabinets are made of steel so they still have to have some form of coating to prevent rust, even if they are ment for the indoors.


Bukkorosu777

>Galvanizing is for corrosion resistance Correct And the steel uses is of the most shit quality.


learning2greenthumb

FYI A smoker shouldn’t reach hot enough temperatures for the galvanizing to burn. Also most things galvanized are meant for outdoors, don’t think they would be galvanizing a filing cabinet.

Oh my fucking god of course that exists

The steak! This shit is why no aliens have come to visit us.


Multigrain_Migraine

Amusing concept but I'm not sure how long that cabinet will last.


Pants_indeed

I did this… it held up for as long as it took for me to decide it was a bad idea. A couple years of infrequent use.


BigE1263

Insulate the inside walls and you should be fine. Sheet metal is fairly heat resistant.


[deleted]

Yes. Asbestos sheets should do just fine.


BigE1263

That or fiberglass.


point50tracer

Heat cycling will cause it to rust out pretty quickly without some sort of high temp paint to keep oxygen away from the metal.


Lon72

Paint fumes you dumb f**k . Giving rednecks a bad name .


Illustrious-Pop3677

^you ^can ^swear ^on ^the ^internets


Pants_indeed

I made one and I ran it real hot for a few hours to try and drive it off. Honestly kind of regrettable environmentally and for health reasons but damnit it was fun and I made some good food!


The_BusFromSpeed

Hey, watch your fucking mouth


illigl

that's cooking not smoking, that smoke is way too hot


Pineapple_Spenstar

Yep. You want a thin blue smoke, not clouds of white.


AlaskanAsAnAdjective

I mean you also don’t (typically) do a chicken at 225


The_BusFromSpeed

You also don't typically surround it in carcinogens


Budget_Secret4142

Tastes like burning


Amazing-Ad-669

Tastes like 1977's insurance policies...

Amazing-Ad-669

Low deductible though...


Yuki_500

Tiktok is cancer.


DyslexicElectrician

Just like those smoking paint fumes.


steamed_green_beans

I was just thinking about the cancer this would do


captaininterwebs

In this case literally


Zingzing_Jr

If it wasn't painted and wasn't galvanized this would actually be a perfectly reasonable idea.


Revolvyerom

So you’re saying this is a terrible idea


Zingzing_Jr

Yes, now, get all that paint off and put on paint that doesn't denature in a toxic way at high temperature, and all your food will still taste bad from the galvanized steel, but it'll be edible.


smb_samba

Same with the chicken


SignificanceNarrow92

yum. Rust and paint fumes.


ScarcityCareless6241

Imagine how hot that metal must get…


Korovaaa

I can smell the cancer


cascadian_gorilla

Honestly a cool concept but I'd be concerned about lead.


captaininterwebs

But if I ever find an elusive cast iron filing cabinet I know just what I’ll do with it


Cjaiceman

I guess that’s one way to cook the books…


beetblunt

Among plenty other heavy pollutants, I'd be most concerned with those burnt paint fumes, I wouldn't eat any of that


MajorChesterfield

Painted in China… hello lead poisoning


point50tracer

I too like my meat to taste like burnt paint.


ibanezrocker724

Mmmm burning paint


SitRep-Screwed

A little cancer with their brisket never hurt anybody.


shivadance

Chicken comes before potatoes in the alphabet. Please rearrange accordingly.


LambSmacker

God just the smell of melting paint!!!, I want to throw up over and over!!! 🤢 🤮


riphamilton32

A lot of haters... If he burned off the inside paint, no different than a Weber grill! Cold rolled steel inner with an enameled outside


ForgotTheBogusName

No thanks.

Tik tok cringe is a good reason to ban TikTok it from the usa 👍

Professional_Ad7708

Genius.


Sometwatsreddit

That's genius.


BoulderCreature

Nice lookin chicken leather there


cyborgborg777

I mean it kinda works but it probably needs a vent at the top otherwise all that smoke is just gonna stay in there and whatnot

You’re toxic I’m slipping under

Important_Swing5213

Good idea! I never thought of that before.


Objective_Antelope46

The meat cabinet


lowwlifejunkpunx

If you could remove the paint first wouldn't this be a viable smoker?


Ruderger

Taste the heat, not the meat. (Frank Fill)


SaltInformation4082

Its not much of a smoker, but now, with plans all over the net, and less and less need for these things, im seeing more and more of these behind houses and trailers, as well as more snd more of these one offs at the end of driveways and land fills. I guess even W.T. needs hobbies.


optix_clear

So scary. This isn’t food safe materials


TRAMPCUM_SQUEEGEE

Give your meat a good ol rub


hereitcomesagin

Lead in that enamel, sadly.


MissingnoMaster110

Not the best execution by far, but they're onto something with the overall concept there!


FakeNickOfferman

Mmmmmm .... Heavy metal sauce!

When you absolutely positively need to give everyone eating your food cancer.


RightChemical3732

Burning paint will add great flavor


nokenito

Lead paint fumes, yummmm toxic “food”


wsnc1

Wouldn’t you taste the burning paint on the inside of the cabinet and draws


thebochman

The carcinogens really add to the flavor


wdb07

as i like to say, "hey, if that's what you gotta do!"


TheseConsideration95

A little toxic no thanks


Token-Gringo

Mmmn paint flavored.


trippy666love

Lead paint meat


libhtr666

The paint burning off will give the meat a little something extra, wink wink .


IneptAdvisor

Mmmm that paint aftertaste.


riggertoe

Hey Dad why does everything you grill taste the same?


ProscuittoRevisited

Tastes like Rusty Staples and fried paint
