Always wondered how the rich folks handled this kinda bizness. Mighty nice set ups on that. We go for the kind which a person can drag down the road. Gonna put some fresh air in the tires one of these days. The pit in the back ground is named Fred. I am the fat guy on the right I think.
I just got my (new to me, mfg 1997) SM008 cleaned up and painted. Installed on a heavy duty file cabinet with 4 in casters (also had to clean and paint cabinet too). I also put in a red LED indicator light so I know when the element is heating (camera makes it look white, you can see the red color in reflection on top).
Doing a first smoke doing a dismantled turkey, using 3 oz cherry wood. I have a new thermometer to try also- Inkbird IBT-4XS that is bluetooth and can have 4 sensors.
My set up, a 500 built in..
Again, you are on a thread that was started 6 years ago, with only three prior posts. With these great pics, please start a new thread.
I recently found a powder-coated SM008 in decent condition, however the original powder-coated stand was really rusted out - to the point the door was no longer magnetic near the edge. I put together this stand using quasi-timber frame joints. This spring it will get a sanding and oil finish. I’ll also build a pull-out bin or two which will be hung on rails below the lower shelf.
Looks real good and functional. Thanks for sharing (and giving some folks an idea to support their smoker). Much appreciated.
