 Grampy, I finished my cart for my SI#1, the blue cart was a little big. This is cart is 16X30 and fits my SI#1 perfectly, I like the compact size.
 Again thanks for your inspiration........................

Isaac, the cart looks great! I looked at that cart but the #2 is a little bigger and I needed the extra room. I think you will really like the way you have it set up. I love mine.

Nick, I saw your post a few days ago about your cart and was impressed, I like the idea of having the drawers to hide all the stuff...............nice job!

Tap Plastics cuts to size and offers different thicknesses. If you look at the Starboard product, it is cutting board but with UV protection for outdoor use.

The way Grampy has his #2 mounted to the cart could you mount a cutting board in the space between the door and the end of the cart and still be able to slide the drip pan in and out ? My smoker has not even been shipped yet and here I go adding this cart and mods

Judge, that would be no problem. Worse case the legs could be shimmed with a few washers.

I also use the same Harbor Freight cart for my 2D.  Left the casters on the smoker and it fit perfect on the top shelf.  Secured it to the handle side of the cart with strong zip ties and that baby is secure.

Excellent modification to your cart though Grampy - love the ingenuity!!!

Happy New Year to all!!!

How is the working height and stability of the smoker on the cart?  This sure looks like a great, cheaper alternative to the factory cart.  I have a #2D smoker.

Rooster, the cart and smoker are very stable no issues at all. As far as the working height, it should be just about perfect for the average sized man. I am 6' 5" tall so it is a little low for me but I have no issues with it.
