Thanks.The table I found I picked up used on craigslist from a restaurant that closed down. You might be able to find something in your area, otherwise. I would suggest looking for one with a backsplash so the smoker doesn't accidentally fall of the table like this.
You might even find that something like this would work well If you are just looking to raise it.
I've had good results with Alton Brown's recipe: He does his in an electric smoker as well. Here is the video from The Best Thing I Ever Made.I'm trying to find a recipe for smoked meatloaf. I saw some picks on here a while back of one that was made in a circle cake pan, and removed from the pan to cook. Does anyone have this recipe by chance?
Yes i think that looks like it would work well.This one could be about perfect:
I had a #2 and sold it to a friend so I could get a #3. The #2 was probably plenty for what I needed, but I like being able to lay out whole slabs of ribs in the #3. If you can get it within the budget go with the #3, but if not, don't fret, the #2 is just as kick ass!
I concur with both of these. If you can afford it, go big early. I have a #2 that I'll eventually replace with a #3 to better handle larger, full briskets and large racks of ribs.My suggestion is to get as much as you can within your budget. You cite the shipping charges and there is a large difference. But shipping is very quick (make sure the smoker is in stock) and well packaged. Also, you can always smoke less in a large unit but cannot smoke more in a smaller unit, if that makes sense.
