Hey Gary, I too have the seville cart for my #1 smoker. The #2 should fit on it without a problem and yes you can adjust the height of the top shelf. Since I am not John I hope this answers your question.

Thanks for the clarification Bill.
I think I'm going to keep it low on the ground now that I've had a chance to pick it up; it's got some heft and the thought of being that top heavy has me reconsidering.

Hey Gary, Several people use a cart from Harbor Freight. Check out Divotmaker's post I will give you the address: http://smokinitforums.com/index.php?topic=3722.0 and if that cart will hold a #3 it should also hold your #2.  I just have bad knees and lower back so need my smokers up off the ground. Good Luck.

I ordered a regency restaurant equipment stand (30 deep x 24 wide) (All Stainless)  including the legs and lower shelf from Webresturantsupply http://www.webstaurantstore.com/regency-30-x-24-16-gauge-stainless-steel-equipment-stand-with-galvanized-undershelf/600ES3024G.html and a set of casters from Castor City and then build a gig to ensure the holes lined up and it works great for my model 3. The door edge is about 6 inches back from the door edge so no dripping on the deck. I also purchased a second cart 30 inches wide and 24 inches deep.

What is the height of your cart for a #3. I know the SI cart is 221/2 but what height do you guys have. How many inches would you say is too tall?
Thanks

Doug, the SI cart ledge, that the smoker actually sits on, is 21".  I have a Harbor Freight cart that I used with the analog #3.  It sits 33" high.  It was a little high, for the stock 3, but absolutely too high for the 3D (you can't read the display).  Personally, I wouldn't go higher than about 24-26".  You want to be able to look down on the top of the smoker.

The table Peter referenced, is 26" tall....perfect!

Thanks, that's exactly the info I needed. Still vacillating between the 3D/4D. Good thing I'm not rushed. I picked up this animal the other day in a action. Never seen one like it before. The current model supports 175#. I sent mfg a request for info. I believe I can take out one of the 3 side panels on each side to shorten it. After it gets pressure washed I will investigate that further. Has one beast of a cutting board on it though. It hold FULL size sheet pans. I just put those 18x13 (half size I guess) in there sideways to see if they would fit.

Currently it is 36 inches tall. 29 inches deep and 21 inches wide.

I believe when I take it apart I will be able to reassemble it to be either

19 inches tall with 4 Racks
or
28 inches tall with 8 racks.

As I recall it would be beneficial to have a full size pan to pull out when putting in meat or removing meat to catch drippings.
Looks like your telling me the best height then would be the 19 inches. I think I would come up with a different top than the cutting board because if it cleans up well, I think I would like having a cutting board
that is 28 3/8 X 20 3/8. Also being shorter it would be more stable.

Sounds like a plan, Doug!  I'd stick to the 28", and see what you think.  At least for me, at 5'9", that's pushing it.

I picked up this fiberglass topped cart at an estate sell yesterday for $12.50.  Not the prettiest but does the job.  After I took the photo, I added some bungee cords to the wheels to keep it from blowing off
