Sitting higher sounds nice, I'm 6'4" so usually taller is better for a guy like me. Thanks for the info. Still debating if I need this mod or not, I'm not sure how often I will be moving this smoker/grill so it may not be worth the extra $100 (or so) at this time.
Interesting numbers, thanks for sharing. I'm also curious about the damper and its positioning. That's why I purchased two analog thermometers with my order, so I could at least get an idea how far off the two sides were and adjust the damper accordingly. Next week baby!
Out of curiosity, does the grill sit flat still or at the same angle? You seem to have thought this through so I'm assuming there's some front wheel to back wheel ratio you had to figure out before deciding on these wheel sizes so the thing didn't end up sitting like a hot rod with it's ass up...
Ha! I hear you there, isn't that always the case. Right now I'm mostly just using the Grill Daddy Pro with the grill on high at the ends of my cooks. The grates aren't clean enough for me though. I may try the ammonia bag method one day. What's your method?
I may even have a hack saw in the garage! LOL
Thanks for the tips. I think the upgrade is needed. As heavy as this thing is in combination with the grass and hills around my house are going to eat those factory wheels alive. I actually emailed Yoder asking about a middle-of-the-road upgrade...
Ahh, okay, so the rod isn't there already with the factory wheels, I have to add that.
When you say trim, you mean the rod I assume, if so what tool did you use? Sorry, I'm an IT guy mostly, I can code and work computers all day but when it comes to tools and such I'm a bit unskilled.
I seen that and have all the items in my cart so far on Amazon. I'm still trying to locate the 3' rod though. I figured it would be easiest to do this upgrade as the thing gets off the skid instead of doing it later once I've cooked on it a bit.
I'm selling a slightly used (2 week old) Traeger Lil Tex Elite BBQ grill/smoker. This thing is awesome but we want a bigger unit for use with in catering. Local pick up in Kansas City only.
