Hey Everyone, has anybody ever made a Mod on the Traeger Select concerning the Wheels and Casters ? They are way too small. It's so heavy that the casters won't turn like they should. Before you ask. " Yes, I unlocked the Casters" I am thinking of creating a cart like Mod similar to the one that Yoder has? Any ideas or suggestions?

I don't own a Traeger, but I'll give your question a bump and maybe some Traeger owners will stop by.

Seems like I remember seeing someone put larger casters on their Yoder pellet smoker for better mobility...but I don't remember when or where.  I want to say they bought the larger casters somewhere like Harbor Freight?  

EDIT:  Here's the link to the Yoder caster mod I was talking about:

Thanks Red.. That's exactly what I was thinking I could do. But some of the yoder shave a wheeled cart that looks kind cool. I might have to build something like that.

Just a stock photo of the Yoder YS 640 with Competition Cart.  Looks really beefy.  If you decide to try to fab something like that, please post pics...we always enjoy seeing the handy work of others.
