Smoke Vault SMV24 Cooking Racks

Finally decided to stop messing with smoking in a standard grill, asked and received a Smoke Vault SMV24 for fathers day...early of course I wasn't going to wait until the exact day!!  Anyway getting ready to season it and do some of the "standard" mods I see on the site e.g. new regulator hose with valve, sealing the door etc. and started putting together a list of addons I might want for the future.

I don't think you need to mess with the needle valve mod...the Browning SV-24 has a low flame setting when you push the control knob in and turn towards the off position...maybe the camp chef model does not have this feature though, but be sure to check for that. I haven't sealed the door either...just set it up in a level place and spread all four legs evenly so the cabinet is squared-up properly.

When I was contemplating a propane smoker, I was torn between the Masterbuilt XL and this unit, going with the SMV24 because it seemed that most of what I would want to upgrade/mod on the XL was already part of the SMV24 with the only downside being the SMV24 only had 2 regular cooking racks.  Figuring I could just buy a couple more I overlooked that and selected the SMV24.  To my surprise the only racks that I could find as addons are the jerk racks that range from ~$14-20 for 2 racks.  I couldn't find the standard racks so I went to the Camp Chef website and discovered that they are only sold individually @ $24 a pop....

That's strange that it only came with 2 food grates...mine came with 3 plus a jerky grate. Just checked the Camp Chef product page and 2 is the correct qty now, though.

Has anyone found any aftermarket racks that work well with the SMV24 or a place that sells the racks at a much better price than $24?

Thank,

David
