Cart Modification for MES. Nice!

[sfordt]

Great idea and makes a very nice looking cart.

Can I share this on another site?

 

[chiva]

I was thinking of doing something like this.  Thank you for showing your work.  Should be really helpful in doing my own.

Yep Just ordered this cart, I will be doing about the same mods?? Not for sure still searching for Ideas, Got this one off e-bay new for 78.00 free shipping.

hmmm just wondering about my masterbuilt 40 gas smoker i will have to look at doing this........

Would this fit the 30" MES with the cold smoke attachment?  RimRock, I see that you built an extension, but was wondering if it may not be necessary for the 30".

Nice carts!  I'm looking for a solution to get my MES off of the ground with either a cart or casters also.

SoCal MESmoker, You probably will be able to fit the cold smoker on the rack with smaller smoker. I don't think you will need the extension.

I'm going to have to get my brother to take me over to Sam's Club to check out the item.  Thanks for the cart mod idea!

Great idea and nice post.  I built a box with a drawer and wheels to both elevate it and make it easier to move.  But when the MES was mounted it was top heavy and tipsy.  Your idea looks better.

Just have to finish the ends there i cut for the side shelves, The last basket I had I cut using a metal saw blade on my hand held jig saw and then cleaned up the rough ends with the grinder. Will put a piece of stained plywood on the ends of the side shelves to finish things up.

This was a great project and at this time it was a great purchase for $80 + Free shipping.

A full smoker is a happy smoker

Nice mod. Thanks for sharing.

 & CONGRATS on a nice modification of an existing and capable cart.  I just purchased a Smokin-it, model 3  smoker, but shun the thought of buying their cart for $199.99+ shipping.  Once it arrives and I get good measurements, your idea will inspire me to also seek a cheaper and very effective alternative, given a little ingenuity and minimal effort. 

YOU ROCK!

first post. Did my first smoke on a mes30 about a week ago. I found this cart at amazon. Seems to be same thing. For people like me without a sams club.


dimensions seem the same. Too bad its almost 20 bucks more.
