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.
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.
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.
& 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.
Some of us po folk down in South Mississippi just use an old furniture dolly we have laying around from lets say like harbor freight, under $20 with quepons and such, YMMV.
