Storage cart with an AmeriQue?

Thanks!

I purchased one with my CS066 and do use it for storage, it does get the smoker off the ground and saves all the bending

only downside I see from the images on the CS site is that the 'original' drain pan would need to be replaced with a shallow pan.

What is the actual height of an AmQ on the stand?

I have my Elite on a cart and use a drain pan for multiple cooks. Should be OK.

TN Q is right, I had to replace the deep drain pan that came with the smoker with a shallow (2.5" deep) pan. It has not been an issue even with a full load of PB. The biggest advantage to the cart as Cook One said is that you do not have to bend over to load/tend the smoker.

The height of the smoker and cart (to top of cabinet) is 52" and 57.5" to top of controller.

Smokers in their storage positions without covers. I remove covers and move them out onto deck to cook (and I connect the 4' stack and 90* EL to the FEC).

That's a perfect spot to hold the smokers. It's like you designed the house to go around them.
