Since I bought my 6 rack it's been in my heated garage. I devised a way of venting it and have used all winter. All this time it's been sitting on a make shift table. I had to put a box beside it to elevate my PID so I could get the sensor in deep enough. All my different boxes of pucks are on a high shelf on the other side of the garage along with my cold smoke adapter and some jerky racks. I figured it was time to get everything into one location and free up some floor space in the garage. This is almost how it looks right now.

I'm going to put a shelf on the wall just to the right of the window at about the same height it is now. I'll put another shelf under it to house the pucks and cold smoke adapter and the jerky racks. I'll put up a smaller shelf for my PID. All this will be done soon. No room right now as I'm storing my sons above ground pool and solar heater but he'll be getting it soon. Also I need my table saw which just happens to be at my daughter and son in laws places.
Now that I have it figured out what I want to do I'm anxious to get started so I'm in hurry up and wait mode ;)
Looks like a plan... the waiting would be the hardest part for me.
Ok... I'll bite...
What the heck kinda RYOBI SAW is that hanging there?
Looks like something digital and high tech to match that digital smoker.... LOL

;D ;D RYOBI is a maker of hand tools and what you see there is router table
Ahhh... 10-4. Cool.
Looks like a router table.
Those are very nice. My buddy has one. I have mine built into my table saw so I can use the fence from it for the router. It works pretty good. I am in the process of making attachments for it to make it easier to use.
All my power tools are portable so they can be put away when not in use. Seems they're not in use more than in use but they're all nice to have, just in case.

You got them if you need them is the way to go.
Hi Raf128.
That looks a good set up. From using it all winter can you tell me if you have any smoke residue in the garage from opening the Bradley door etc as I have a similar set up with my fly tying stuff nearby.
Are the water container and fan part of the Bradley set up?
Cheers.
Never notice any smoke residue but that might be hard since a friend and I do the odd cigar in the garage in the winter ;). Usually don't open the Bradley much while it's going. Someone here said "if you're lookin', it ain't cookin'".
The water container is there for cold water to drink, or make ice cubes or pour into adult beverages as mix. I do use it for the pan in the Bradlely.
The fan is in the garage for air circulation. My garage is heated and in the winter after a snow fall the car drags in snow and ice which melts and lays on the floor. That fan and another on just like it circulate the air in the garage and help dry it up. That one is usally on the shelf by the window but have to move it to get the plywood and vent in the window.
Snow in the winter - fenderbergs on the car - flood in the garage. I remember it well. I lived in MI for 12 years before they deported me to TX.
On the weekend my son came and got his pool and solar heater making room for my smoker's new home. Yesterday I moved a shelf to make room and this morning I put up the shelves. Here it is in it's new home

That's nice, but I don't think that cold smoker attachment will work there. ;D

You're probably right ;). That's just where I'll store it. The vent is on the wall above the PID. Space. It's all about finding space :D
Today I was just looking at my new set up. It just didn't look level. Maybe it's because one of my legs is shorter than the other since an accident :D. So, I grabed a level and sure enough, wasn't my short leg. Leaned a little towards the SG side. Checked in my cupboards and found some felt pads, the kind you put under chair leg to protect the floor. Perfect. Put them on and now should be good to go ;).
