Bought a small shed...

[SquareJerBear]

Hello all,

I purchased a MES 30" with the cold smoke attachment. Took me a long time to get a replacement after smoker after the first one arrived damaged.

So now I have a small shed that I want to house everything in since it's been raining so much here. I got the Suncast BMS2000.

There's only one small snag, the thing isn't deep enough to allow me to attach the grease tray in the back. Is there a fitting I can get to connect to the drain plug to tubing to allow it to drain to the side?

What would you do?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

On the back of the unit, it has a metal tube at the bottom. The grease tray slides over two guides to attach in the rear to catch the grease that comes from the tube. The width the grease tray adds causes my unit to not fit inside the shed.

I don't even really know how hot that metal tube gets, but I was trying to think of ways of using the unit without attaching the grease tray.

Is there a fitting I could get to attach a tube so the grease drains to a collection vessel on the side instead?

I have the proper bolts, thought about elevating it high enough that I could slide a drip tray underneath it, but worry it would just run down and hit the back of the shed haha.

To be fair, you could just slide a pan under the smoker so it just hangs a bit under the grease tube. I have yet to even have to empty mine or clean it. Most of the grease seems to end in the water pan or scorched onto the bottom. Only time I've entered the grease catch on mine is because it fills with water.
