It's definitely easier on the back. I can also wheel it in and out of my shed to move it around. I just wish it had a pair of locking wheels. going to have to look around for a matching pair
Nice cart. I have a similar utility cart just a bit wider. It puts the MES at a great height...JJ
not sure if it is? I was looking through the numbers but didn't find mine. the # 20071011. Also, I seen a couple different pictures of deflectors, could you send me a picture by chance?
Is that a Gen 1? If so, I think a lot of people have added a larger heat deflector to help with the hot spot on the right side.
Yes I seen that and know its a must do. the box has a serious hot spot that can leave meat charred. what type of material did you use for the deflector? also, you just leave the chip tray in its spot? My water pan stays in as well but it has play sand and wrapped in foil. thanksI fabricated a "tunnel" to move the exhaust to the center top of the smoke chamber and added some flex to the end of the elbow to move the smoke and air entering to the center... The flex has holes in it, to help distribute the smoke.... I left the chip pan in the smoker to help with heat absorption and thermal mass..... Seems to work pretty good for me.....
The tunnel, I drilled two small holes and put some "tie wire" through the hole and attached it to the exhaust adjusted in the top.... I just bent the wire over one of the four hole supports... if that makes any sense..... click on the pics to enlarge them and you can see the tie wire hump......
If you don't have the MB mod, maze goes on the wires as shown....

Ok I made a deflector shouldn't matter that it's should it matter that it's made of aluminum? Next question is there are minor gaps should I try to seal them?
