Not sure where to post this but here goes. As a noob, I've quickly noticed that my "set up" and working space is going to be a work in progress.
I want to elevate my smoker to avoid bending down. Maybe a matt to catch any spills. A work surface that's easy to clean. That's just a few of the things I want but at this point they seem to be high on the list.

I'd love to see your set up. Please take some time to post some pics, ideas or thoughts about set up and work space. I'm sure this is something we can all learn from... well, me anyways...

Cheers

Its amazing what one can accomplish when one doesn't know what one can't do!

Welcome to the forum. Mine lives in the kitchen closet but it plays outside on an old rolling computer desk. It is just the right height for my temp cold box and for accessing the racks. It's a little high for the vent but I just set that and forget it anyway.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

Hey D, welcome to the fun!

Here's my setup...



I got a scratch and dent range hood and vented it to the outside.  This sits in a corner of my garage and, i tell ya, it's sure nice to be able to use the smoker year around.

There are many options for using your Bradley and i'm sure there will be many others chiming in here to show you how they've set up their smokers.

Enjoy!

My Bradley's for awhile this is how they live.




Still undecided about this one yet.

I have summer and winter setups.  Both are 'temporary'.

I keep the OBS on an old 4 foot long wooden coffee table about 16" high.  With the OBS on the right, this leaves me workspace to the left.

Winter - The OBS lives in the garage.  I drag it and the coffee table outside of the garage door for use.  N.G. for inclement weather.

Summer - The OBS lives on its coffee table on the deck with its Bradley cover.  It gets moved to the patio table a few feet away under the umbrella for use during rain.

No bears here.  Just the occasional tiger wannabe.



(and right now, that whole area is covered in 3" of snow and ice)

I would rather have the 3 instead of the 11 we have now.

This is just an FYI for anyone who might be interested.

Got an internet sale catalog from Costco today.  They have a pretty good lookin' indoor/outdoor SS table on (internet) sale for $119.99, shipping included (lower 48), tax extra.

It looks like there would be plenty of room for the smoker and workspace.  It could also probably also double as a food prep table - easy cleanup.  

I think I'm going for it.
