Hello Jim.  Years ago my parents had a fire in their basement.  It reeked of smoke odor afterwards.  The contractor that repaired the damage brought in an ozone generator and ran it for about 24 hours.  If you didn't see the fire damage you would not know it for the lack of odor after that process.  Perhaps you could rent a generator and place it and the cabinet in a closet for a few hours.  Just a thought.  Take care, Gary
