THOSE OF YOU WITH YOUR SMOKER BOX SAGGING DOWN ON THE FRONT AND CONTACTING THE FLOOR OF THE COOKER..GETTING GREASY, BURNED ETC. HERE IS THE SOLUTION : IF TONY IN CUSTOMER SERVICE BEND UP ON CANTELEVERED SUPPORT BRACKET DOESN'T WORK THEN DO THIS.

INSTALL A FRONT SUPPORT LEG ONTO THE STAINLESS SMOKER BOX. JUST HAVE SOME ONE DRILL A 3/16" HOLE IN THE MID FRONT OF THE SMOKER BOX ABOUT 3/4 BACK FROM THE FRONT. GET A 1 AND 1/2" LONG PAN HEAD MACHINE SCREW WITH 2 MATCHING HEX NUTS.

PUT ONE NUT ON MACHINE SCREW FIRST, PUSH SCREW THROUGH HOLE IN BOTTOM FRONT OF SMOKER BOX, THEN PUT ON SECOND HEX NUT. THESE TWO HEX NUTS WILL ALLOW YOU TO ADJUST AND LOCK THE SMOKER BOX OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE COOKER FLOOR THUS ELIMINATING BAD GREASE STICKING AND FLOW PROBLEMS AND ENHANCING SMOKE CIRCULATION.

First, please turn off the all CAPS, makes it a little difficult to read.

The reason it's not standard is it's not an issue. That little smoker has been out there 35 years and this forum for 5 and that's the first time this issue has been raised. So don't think it's even a common problem requiring a redesign.

The only reason it touches is if the bracket gets bent. And it gets bent through someone usually putting pressure on it or something causing it to bend.

You did the right thing, called CS and got some support. If you still need to discuss it, they don't monitor the forum, I'd just call them back with your suggestion.
Richard,
How long have you had your Smokette? I have had mine about 7 years. I don't have a problem with the bracket you are talking about, but my paint is looking a little dull. I bought some Black High Temp grill paint the other day and I plan to touch it up on a clear weekend. How is your paint holding up?
