The hobbyist with 3,7 or 20 hives will find a plastic bucket with a snap-on airtight lid works well, if big enough to hold one smoker and some fuel. Hardware shops sell plastic storage boxes for under £2 UK. A piece of wood will save the bottom melting, your smoker should have a guard to stop the hot side touching anything. Avoid starting fires by NOT emptying the smoker while it is still hot.
