Title: Stands
Post by: udang besar on April 07, 2010, 05:45:35 AM
Can't believe Bradely is missing the boat by not making stands for their smokers.   The thing is so awkward to use the way it's configured!!!   They seem to have thought of everything else except easy access!

Hi,

Well, a stand is pretty easy to cobble together and given that each user probably wants some different features I can see why they don't make them.  For a couple of years I used an inverted wine rack from IKEA before I built myself a good one with wheels that now sits on the patio.  A number of members have posted pix of their solutions and they are varied.  You might propose some ideas to Brian for hm to pass on to the powers that be.  Welcome to the forum udang.

My Dad picked this one up off the side walk on trash day. It's an old typing desk on wheels.

My first stand looked like this...

Maybe I should start making custom stands for the Bradley.

The Dog is just hold down the deck, making sure it doesn't run away!

That is her favorite position when she is not jumping up and down and or walking through the woods with me and chasing anything that moves.

I started off with the smoker just sittin on the ground then moved up to this.

Got it at Menards.

Then I got tired of movin it around to get out of the rain, snow or wind.

Now I have the Bradley in his new home, aint no stinkin weather goin to mess with us ever again.

Got a place for every thing, even a spot on the side to work.

I never thought they were awkward.

What did you do to that poor smoker, looks like you hit it with a baseball bat.

Mine lives outside..   But it is still protected from the elements.

I like both of those especially the one on the left.    I've got a stand under mine in the garage but if I want to get at whats behind it I have unplug the wires, pick it up and move it and then the stand.   I have to come up with something better with wheels.

Kevin,

The wind blew it over when it was on the cart.

That was the final straw and the main reason to get it inside.

What really pissed me off was it was full of snack sticks.

That will never happen again.
