$100 boxes are afforale only by the professional. 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.
