Get That CS Off the Floor!!!

FM Former Member
I've always loved and hated the small stature of the Smokette. Love the portable size and hate the low to the ground profile. Yesterday I fixed that. It may be because of my 6'4" frame, but it is so much more enjoyable working off the ground. If I were to build it for myself, the shelves would be an additional 12" higher. But the short ones need to be happy too. Smiler Plus having all the weight centered 48" off the ground on a platform only 19" deep brings up tipping concerns.



The tabletop for the smoker is 24" off the ground and the top shelf is 36" high. The lower shelf is 7" off the ground. Western Red Cedar is the wood. Total materials were about $50. I can slide a roasting pan under the shelf below the smoker to catch the drips.

Caddy, you need to have the pictures hosted on a public server for us to view them. You could e-mail them to me and I'll get them hosted, until Smokin gets them up here.

I've had my Smokette for almost two years, and last May is the first time I used it off the ground. My brother and I smoked 60 lbs of butt with the smokers set up on some saw horses, for a graduation. That was a moment of revelation!

Thank you sir for posting the pics of my stand.

It is 22" wide, 36" long and the top working surface holding the 008 is 26" off the ground. There are 4 casters on the bottom to ease in moving it around. On the backside (the side you cant see) is an opening for a double cabinet door (not done yet) and that area is used for storage. ON the front end is 1/4" pegboard for those hooks and hanging cooking implements. I still have to install the towel rack. The top is painted with 4 coats of high gloss white enamal to ease the cleacing. When finished, it will also sport a self supporting tent roof to keep the rain off of it while cooking. Total cost so far... about $28.

Centex - I made the cart mobile so I could move it in and out of my garage easier. I do store it in the garage when it's not cooking. I havent had a problem in the past with any types of insects (ants,spiders, etc). The storage area I spoke of is for non perishables... racks, rib hooks, jerky screens, work gloves, etc, not foodstuffs. The pegboard on the front of the cart allows for some ventilation of the storage area. The top working area is sealed with silicon caulk under the moulding and 4 coats of high gloss white enamal paint. Spills wipe up easy and cleanup after a cook just takes a quick spray of Simple Green and a couple of paper towels.
