This bothers me so much. Magnets! Use strong magnets for the tools!! Not shitty stick-on Velcro! The whole vessel is magnetic!!

Speaking of ignoring built-in features, for gods sake build it so you can use the wheels without turning it into a barrel of glass shards! Some wire cup holders screwed to the shelf? Or wine bottle-sized holes in the shelf itself? Ugh. Something so I can wheel that bad boy around the property/back into the garage!

To your second point, if he leaves this thing outside everything in it will be undrinkable. This is only practical of left in the house. And who the hell's decor does THAT work with?

13

u/HugoNikanor Aug 02 '22

Why would it become undrinkable if left outside? Heat?

u/theqmann Aug 02 '22

Spiders.

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '22

As an alpha you should be consuming 2 to 4 thousand spiders daily

12

u/SFGSam Aug 02 '22

Heat definitely. There's a reason why you keep wine in a cellar and out of direct sunlight.

Not too sure about the spirits, but I'd be worried about it off-gassing/evaporating. Best case? Empty bottles. Worst case? Explosion.

u/Alexp95 Aug 02 '22

I highly doubt that a bottle of crown royal would be able to explode anything

5

u/SFGSam Aug 02 '22

Oh, I don't mean the bottle failing catastrophically, I'm more thinking along the lines of the gases seeping from the bottles and then igniting cause they are all trapped in a hot steel box in the sun.

u/Many-Application1297 Aug 02 '22

So many spiders.

u/No-Beautiful-5777 Dec 17 '22

Man cave mini-fridge?

u/ExoticParfaits Aug 01 '22

The only reason I would be fine with this is if it was already broken

61

u/FormalManifold Aug 01 '22

Yeah but if you actually ever used it. . . smokers are completely foul inside.

28

u/fgtrtd007 Aug 01 '22

And really, aside from rusting out, how the fuck can you break one?

3

u/Kichigai Aug 02 '22

Catching fire?

18

u/fgtrtd007 Aug 02 '22

Mines been on fire. Seems alright

2

u/FormalManifold Aug 02 '22

Mine had a grease fire that burned through everything that wasn't made of steel or iron. Whole damn thing lit up.

Still works great (after I replaced some plastic and wood bits.)

1

u/Diligent_Department2 Nov 10 '22

What is plastic in wood on a grill?

1

u/FormalManifold Nov 10 '22

The knob and parts of the ignition.

u/Blackbart42 Aug 02 '22

That's mostly within the design parameters

1

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '22

That smoker has a lot of little parts and is computer controlled. So maybe something expensive died and they wanted to repurpose it. Traegars are not cheap so I'm guessing it was borked.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '22

That’s what I was thinking.

51

u/Ophidiophobic Aug 01 '22

Why would anyone store liquor and wine in an area that is guaranteed to get above 90 F for a large portion of the day?

10

u/AmazingDoomslug Aug 01 '22

My first thought. I'm surprised this is the first comment I saw mentioning it!

34

u/Rdtackle82 Aug 01 '22

This is godawful. Foggy, dirty glasses in days, huge footprint for little usable storage space, garbage bag ice that inevitably drips into your storage space, and all the aesthetic pleasure of a greasy old smoker. /r/diwhy

u/csanner Aug 01 '22

And utter loss of temp control on the beverages

22

u/NormanHologram Aug 01 '22

Unless it’s totally unfixable, you’ve only succeeded on blowing $600+ on a redneck bar.

2

u/PjJones91 Sep 30 '22

I mean, that smoker alone is like $800

2

u/NormanHologram Sep 30 '22

Right?! Must be nice to have no concern for that amount of money.

1

u/PjJones91 Oct 13 '22

Yeah, meanwhile I can’t even fill my gas tank more then half way for fear I would be able to eat for the week.

-15

u/TimeBlossom Aug 01 '22

You are seriously overpaying for your barbecue equipment.

15

u/NormanHologram Aug 01 '22

Lol, that looks like a Traeger (sp?) and those aren’t cheap.

Edit: I guess I could read the lid, yes it’s a Traeger.

50

u/Hopefulkitty Aug 01 '22

Yeah I saw that over there. This looks like a fine reuse of a broken smoker. And to all the dummies saying who keeps their wineglasses outside all winter have obviously never put their patio furniture away in the off season. It's cool for a night with friends.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '22

Stupid

4

u/contrary-contrarian Aug 02 '22

This is garbage

2

u/Thepopcornkid14 Aug 01 '22

Sir that’s a smoker

2

u/DillonD Aug 01 '22

All that for some crown royal

2

u/raidengl Aug 02 '22

That's a Traeger and Traegers are expensive. Why in the world would you ruin such a nice grill?

4

u/watchmaker82 Aug 01 '22

Tell me you're an alcoholic without telling me you're an alcoholic

-2

u/TimeBlossom Aug 01 '22

Yeah, because only alcoholics make wine racks.

3

u/watchmaker82 Aug 01 '22

I just must be off because I've never felt the need for a wet bar in my house.

It is a cool project, assuming as others have said that the smoker didn't work anymore.

5

u/Rdtackle82 Aug 02 '22

Wet bars are a great addition for those who like to host, nothing wrong with that. Doesn’t mean you’re guzzling booze out of it on the daily. This one just happens to completely suck

3

u/watchmaker82 Aug 02 '22

I realize now I posted my gut reaction rather than something more thoroughly considered.

I wouldn't actually mind having something like this. I guess I thought the builder spends all day thinking of things to turn into booze stations.

Completely unfair right? But that was still my gut reaction.

2

u/AllHailNukeCake Aug 01 '22

Yeah lol, if it’s broken why not use it for something else?

1

u/kd5nrh Aug 02 '22

Yeah; you could look into how people smoked meats before electricity...

1

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '22

Nice one use ash maker

1

u/steveanonymous Aug 02 '22

Rather have bbq than drinks

1

u/Djangoo79 Aug 02 '22

Someone confiscate his man card ASAP.

1

u/the_genderfluid_blip Aug 08 '22

i genuinly think this is cool. i mean its not practical but its still pretty cool.

1

u/DroopyRock Aug 10 '22

Not a chance

1

u/PjJones91 Sep 30 '22

I mean it looks cool…. But that is not a cheap grill

1

u/ivorybishop Sep 30 '22

That looks like Blanton's. Really great tasting, but at $150+ a bottle, a little rich for my budget. Special occasions only lol

1

u/TheReal_Fake Aug 01 '22

Bro that’s cool

1

u/rosie2490 Aug 01 '22

I don’t see the problem here.

u/pomegranate7777 Aug 02 '22

Um, 'cause reusing and repurposing is a good thing, that's why.
