Saw this one at Sams club

Several of us are using this stand.

You might want to take a look at the advantages vs. the price difference.

I like this one you sent. I can store my Q tools and stuff inside where they will keep clean and dust free. It looks like I can store my flavor wood and briquettes in the cupboard side, there will also be room for the extras like pans and racks etc.

My only concern is will grease soak into the top wood block? You know there will be grease spills on the top. Maybe I can find a cap of some type to put on it to protect it. Any Ideas?

I live near Sacramento and the closest Sams is closing up shop but There are some others around here.

Yes, when you open the door, put food in, take it out, "stuff" will get on whatever you're using.

Just wipe it up and keep going. You could put a different countertop on there if you're worried or almost anything could work

Interesting I went over to the local Sams that will be closing in a week or so to take a look at these and they had them in stock. Then I looked around and saw the display model on sale for $130 so I went for it. I saved 20% or so.

The Sams here will be closing so they have marked all the displays (TV, chairs etc) down to get them out the door. If you want one of these carts and a Sams is closing near you go get one now as there is only one display in the store.

I've got that cabinet (after Smokin showed it to us) and had a friend make me a new wood top out of maple. I soaked the maple top in Cedarshield wood preservative:

Cedarshield

Cedershield turns the wood into a water proof material. The wood actually becomes like petrified wood after a period of time. I called the company and talked to them to find out if I can drill holes in it (to attach the smoker) and was told for the first few months then the wood would become impervious to water and cutting.

It's a one time, permanent water proof treatment for wood. I must disclose that I've dripped a couple grease spots on it that doesn't seem to want to come out. Doesn't bother me, but if I used the original top for a few months and let the treated top set up, it would probably be indestructible.

I use the cabinet just like you describe. Great storage. Solid. Large wheels. Low center of gravity. Easily rolls.

pags,
If you would have dripped a lot of pbs grease all over top it would have been waterproof.(LOL)

All the frigging cats over here would love it.

I have had the closed cabinet that raincreek sent the pic of for 6 months now. It is great, the
wood top cleans up very easy and does not soak up any grease.

I was looking for a more permanent solution to the maple top than the polyurethane it comes with. That why the Cedershield. The new maple top should last forever. Drip stains may be the tradeoff though most clean up if they don't sit overnight. I just couldn't resist something that makes the wood permanently water proof since the cabinet will be sitting in the elements.

Good ideas. I am thinking maybe putting some granite tile on top I can get 12 x 12 tiles or even better I can get a piece of granite overlay remnant I think it comes in 3/8 in thick. I will call around to the granite contractors and see if they have some leftover small pieces of overlay.

Good idea. How easy is it to drill thru the granite? I've got mine attached.

Instead of granite wouldn't that white cutting board material work,easy to drill.

Pags, You bolted your Q to the cart? Humm maybe a masonry bit or I would call the granite contractor and ask how to drill.

Or better yet just get them to drill the holes for you so you can just glue it down with liquid nails or silicon seal then bolt the Q down through the holes. Just take a piece of butcher paper and set the Q on it and make a template for the holes with a sharpie so they can drill them.

Yea. That puppy is bolted to the cart. Basically did what you suggest to bolt two of the wheel holes to the maple top. I thought 4 bolts would be overkill.

When I put my 025 on top I was thinking about a cover for both and after looking the best I can find is this one. It would cover the Q and the cart down to about a foot from the ground.
