Just purchased a 4 rack digital smoker and want it on wheels, so that I can move around easily.
What does everybody use?
I use a 3 tier wire shelf utility cart that I got from Sam's Club; but it is not weather proof and though it still functions well, it is covered with rust. Its been a while since I purchased one, and I don't believe Sam's sells them any more.
What you should look for in a cart is something that is more weather proof than chrome plated steel. For me I find that carts with the top shelf around 30" high works best. They place the smoker at a comfortable height. You want wheels large enough so you can push it across the lawn without a small wheel hitting a small rut or stone and tipping the whole cart over. Also look for one that has at least two locking wheel.
I have a Clarke utility cabinet from the bottom of a tool chest that I have my smoker setting on. I just wheel it in and out of the garage as needed.
When I need to move the smoker I use a tool cart I got from Menards. Flip the top over so you can open the door and a scrap piece of counter top to sit the smoker on.

Yep. I make sure it is cool first then just wrap my arms around it and carry it while trying not to trip over the dog.

Here is what I came up with.

This is an old propane grill after we did a slight modification.
Very innovative.
