Title: Anyone try a wheel mod kit?
Post by: JDann24 on June 23, 2016, 02:39:06 PM
More specifically this one http://www.bbqsmokermods.com/product-p/wsm-whl.htm?
If so, what do you think? Is it worth it?

I've bought many items from this outfit and they are totally legit.

I have no doubt their kit works great but you can buy the same thing at your local home Depo,  etc.

They're just locking castor wheels.  They sell them at all the local places

Agreed.  You can get very similar casters at a lot of places including like these locking (http://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/casters-swivel/3-inch-x-3-4-quarter-inch-stem-swivel-caster-with-brake-90992.html) and these non-locking (http://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/casters-swivel/3-inch-x-3-4-quarter-inch-stem-swivel-caster-90997.html) at Harbor Frieght.

And it's not hard to find 20% off coupons too.  That's what I did on mine.

Thanks for tip on habor freight. I'll think I'll go that route.
