Introduction: Watertight Box to Keep Grill Stuff
I like to use my smoker on the weekends.I got tired of being nagged at for keeping my grill stuff in the living room.The problem was how to keep things dry.I thought about using pond liner for the inside,way to expensive.I came up with an alternative.This works just fine and should last a long time.Play nice with the power tools,keep your fingers.This is made from pallet wood.I designed this to hold two full bags of charcoal.
Step 1: Tools & Supplys
tools:
table saw
miter saw
caulking gun
staple gun
brad nailer
sander
razor knife
supplys:
aprox 72' of wood
tar paper
outdoor glue
outdoor stain
waterbase poly
spray glue
black waterproof caulking
Step 2: Cut and Rip Wood, Sand
This is pretty basic.A 16"x15" box.2' tall
Sides (24)2 1/2"X 24"
Bottom (6) 2 1/2"x14"
top(6)3"x 15 3/4"
lid sides(2)1 1/2" x16 3/4"
(2)1 1/2"X17"
You will also need to rip enough 3/4"x3/4" for bracing
give the wood a quick sand
Step 3: Build the Sides and Top
I built the sides first,do not build the box.Next build the top.The bottom was done last,I did not seal the bottom as I wanted to keep an airflow.
Step 4: Waterproof
Use tarpaper and a staple gun to attach paper to interior sides and underside of top.Use caulking where the paper meets the bracing.
Step 5: Put It Together
I nailed the sides together first,then the bottom.Make sure to square the box first before nailing the bottom boards.After its built use the caulking on the corners.
Step 6: Stain and Poly
Stain n poly,if you want to add a graphics,use spray adheasive and poly right over it.I grabbed the graphic from the net.
