I used a piece of vinyl gutter and some magnets to mount it and it works great for my setup
Look for a wood chip smoker box from Lowes. I think it's about $11 or $12
Put some old hard drive magnets on the back
I got one of those. Need to finish it, but I cut a large opening in the top and am installing some black mesh to replace the large holes. Probably going to use hard drive magnets on the back as well.
OT - sounds like a large truck is going by, but it's just a sudden downpour...
$16 for a 19" stainless one here: http://www.katom.com/370-DTS419.htm...e=googlebase2&utm_medium=CSE&utm_campaign=CSE

Here is what the smokebox looks like with magnets..I took the lid off and flipped around. I bought mine for $9.56 each
Those are my $7 chalkboard tap handles too

+1 to the drywall mud pan. No modification needed, hung it to the side of my Keezer with strong magnets. Just throw it in the dishwasher when you want to clean it. They are so tall, they might not be the best if you have a tower setup though.

I tried the mud pan...the problem with the magnets is that the mud pan I could buy was angled and couldn't sit flush against the kegerator....I attempt to make something that it would sit on...but once I found the smokebox I was sold on the look
How do you open the freezer without removing 4 handles?

Birdmanbrewing has good prices on the stainless drip drays. Got the 12"x5" for <$30 + shipping, perfect size for two taps. A lot of places have a much higher prices on these.

Very carefully...a slight miscalculation on my part. I don't store anything in there anyways.
I'd have beer all over the floor at my house.

I've seen guys use a small steel plate to fasten the two doors together so both must be opened together.
Can't you open the fridge door before opening the freezer portion??

You can.. but people forget or don't notice. I had the same problem with the freezer. I screwed on a bracket to the bottom of the freezer door that over hangs the fridg door. I can open the fridge door without opening the freezer but if I open the freezer it pulls the fridge open too.
Dude!! you rule!

Where do you get hard drive magnets??? Never heard of it before
You can get them from taking apart old or broken (or new ones if you want to waste money) hard drives from a computer. They are just very strong neodymium magnets that you can get many other places... I just had a pile of old drives to get rid of so I took the free route
Super neohetradyne aka rare earth magnets
Rj magnetics if you want to buy

Amazon has this smoker box with eligible prime shipping (if you're in a hurry) which looks like the original one posted in this thread. I might pick it up. I've got a two-tap tower and need a lower profile drip tray. I was using two PVC drains stuck on PVC end caps, but they sit really high and you can't get a glass under there straight-on.
