Just ordered a SM-025

Congrats on the new smoker! The smoker (with wheels removed) just sits atop the CS stand. Ya have to use a shallow drip pan in this setup. Lots of folks do make their own. Take a look at the Show us your smoker set-up discussion.

I put my SM025 in a 20cuft plastic garden shed I got from Sears. I knocked a table together from some 2x4 and plywood scraps I had hanging around in the garage. Covered the top and sides with contact paper to make clean ups easier. I took the wheels off and gave them to someone on the forum and replaced them with these really cool swivel feet. Scroll down thorough the show us your smoker setup and you'll see many good ideas.

Thanks for the advice and replies. There are a lot of ideas to mull through. Going to need a lot of accessories I see. Been smoking for years with a cheap gas heated smoker that was to much work and too variable (gas tank pressure, wind, outside temp etc...). Can't wait to try this one out ...

cool, it shipped yesterday. Should have it by Tuesday. This is killing me .....
