Interest in this was expressed in another thread so here is the skinny -
I purchased a used, like new18.5” WSM on CL for cheap and had made most of the mods I wanted except it needed to be mobile and I had not yet decided on how this would be done. I thought about it for a week or so and couldn't decide if it would be a platform with 3 wheels, one under each leg, or one with 4 wheels which might make it more stable. Then my cousin stopped by and said that she was cleaning out the garage and did I have a use for this lazy susan thing she had purchased at a lawn sale. It was about 22" in diameter and had 5 lockable wheels. Well, gee, let me see. I swear it is a true story.
Here I have removed the bearing from between the top and bottom pieces, trimmed 3/8" from the diameter of the upper piece so that it would fit into a water heater drip pan, and fastened the 2 pieces together.
The 22" drip pan was a perfect fit. I made some pieces to hold the WSM feet and fastened them to the top. The all steel side table was an old printer stand that I bought at a garage sale for $3.
The stand was a great addition for me. I could put the WSM cover on it or the center section, or anything else hot or not. The funny part is that I passed on this stand for 4 previous Saturdays at the same garage sale (had no use for it). Then I thought that this would make a great partner for the WSM and hoped that it would still be available and fortunately it was.
The third shelf was achieved by using counter sunk screws through the straps and acorn nuts as supports.
Of the 4 smokers I had at the time this was by far my favorite. But the body will no longer bend so it is gone now.
Thanks for looking.
