The idea of this box was to create a simple light weight hot box.

I wanted to be able to disassemble the box if needed and I wanted to be able to move it with a single person.

Each of the 4 sides were made independently with the end 1 x 4's glued in place with the appropriate overlap. Then "L" brackets used to create the base box.

The undercarriage is 2 96" long 1 x 4's attached to 14" shelf brackets then attached to the bottom edges

I had to extend the bottom edges to carry the door weight that is why you see the doubled up 1 x 4 at the bottom edges, if they were cut to correct length

(side width+ door with) then they would not have been doubled up.

The middle plate on the door is there as a handle and a place to have a wire to hold the door shut wile in use

There is no back other than the wall.

The heater is wired to two plugs 1 heat, 1 fan (heater is not pre-wired with plugs and is setup as a single plug, so a bit of modification was needed)

Heat plug runs to Inkbird heat control

Fans run continuous
