Stand for SMO45 or SM025

lipsterMember

Got my 045 last week. First cook: St Louis Ribs. Good Eatin'!!
045 is wonderful, but it is pretty close to the ground, and I don't care for the bending/kneeling over all the time to clean it, etc. Didn't want to spend the big bucks for the factory stand, but I found this:
Low Wheeled Stand

Mounted the 045 to it yesterday, using the threaded holes on the 045 that were used for the casters.
Sturdy. Hard to find stands that are on the low side! Raises the smoker up 18", which is perfect for me. Even comes with its own rubberized casters with brakes.

Thanks for the tip! Seeing your post, I ordered one of those right after I ordered my 066. I've been too lazy to buy bolts to permanently affix my smoker to it yet and I'll need to trim the front edge down in the center just a bit to get the drip pan in & out, but it seems plenty sturdy and the tall casters help with moving the unit around. Great to have a little easy-access storage underneath as well.

I got a rolling cart from Harbor freight, just sat it on top and called it done. Was going to drill holes and mount properly, but, it does not move at all, and I am just leaving it as it is in the cart. has a 2.5-3 inch lip which the door just clears when opening. Used the 20% off coupon (that is everywhere) and it was $50. This was for the SM 45

I see HF has a fairly wide selection of rolling carts. Which one did you get, or does it matter?
I have the 25. Will you cut some of the lip in front to accommodate a drip pan? Looks like any of the 16x30 carts will work. Did you go with the 30 In. x 16 In. Three Shelf Steel Service Cart, item# 97542?

No need to cut, door makes it over and there is space for the drip pan as well. I got the one that fit the dimensions without modifications. It is a bit bigger than it needed to be, but, the bottom shelf is great for storing all your stuff. My wife actually thought it was a good idea? How often does that happen?

I got a stainless steel table for Christmas and mounted my 025 to that. You lose portability which was OK for me given mine is on the deck which has some steps to get to it.

What I do like it that I have 16" of table surface in front of the smoker to catch drips when applying sauce or pulling meat off. Also I have a 3 foot surface to the side of the smoker for prep.

That was the beauty of the Harbor Freight cheapy table, plenty of room up top and below. The one annoying part about it, was it took a while to assemble. The some assembly is required is an understatement. However, I was shocked that each and every nut and bolt was contained in the package, not one extra, not one short...

Nice work table. The additional work area will come in handy.

Get 2 or 3 larger bins to store wood and utensils on the bottom.

Good idea. I plan to swap the grill and table so the work area can be easily accessed for both. Having the supplies handy would be great as well.
