Can't believe it - never used Cimarron

I would think that the wheels on yours are on backwards. Nothing to grab onto on the stack end to lift and move with the wheels. I would rather use the fire box to lift and push, just my thought.
Either way, good score !

If you check the OP's photos, you will see the grab handle on the stack-end of the smoker.

They are on backwards, that's my last task is to figure out how to get that fixed without help. It's pretty heavy, I'll try to get it up on saw horses so I can flip them around.

Should have seen the drive I had to move it on and it was fun getting in to my truck. Kinda cracks me up that someone assembled it like that.

Couple of fires later and the seasoning is done, man it looks good. I've got a corned beef flat in the freezer that I think will be it's first cook.

During the fires to season it I noted that this is a pretty easy smoker to manage. Especially for its size. I'm working on a theory regarding some of its design aspects that are counter typical wisdom....

All original, no paint added.

Here is what I did when I needed to remove the legs and was by myself. Find a level spot in your yard. Lay down an old rug to protect the paint.

Tip the smoker upright onto the door-end of the firebox. You may want to remove the damper plate so you don't bend the rod-handle.

It should stand upright and remain stabile with minimal support to the stack-end. You can then rearrange the legs to their proper configuration.

My bad, I thought that was maybe just a tool holder. Gotcha

If you decide you want to trick out the firebox, adding a log starter pipe burner is pretty easy. There is a 1 inch square tubing with a lock nut that goes into the firebox underneath the CC. In a pinch you can use it for supplemental heat, although that's not really what it is intended for.

I knew that deluxe models came with a gas igniter and assumed that square inlet was for that. Interesting to think about but I probably won't add that. Who knows.

Got the wheels swapped to the correct location, so much easier to move it now. Lifting from the FB side it was so heavy.

Balanced well on a single saw horse.

It's almost nose heavy, my G2 has legs under the firebox.
