Alt. cart for Little guy...
« on: July 20, 2015, 11:30:27 PM »
I found this at Sam's club and looks pretty nice. I think I seen someone else using it also.

I like the fact that has 3 shelves. And I think Tony mentioned about adding plastic to the top shelf. Just cannot remember where I seen it posted on this site???? Help :o And it comes with polypropylene shelf inlays for all the selves.

Not a bad cart, Bill - I've seen it at Sam's.  I'd get a pine 3/4" panel, and cut it to size for the top.  That's what I just did for my #3 cart, and it works great!  Sand it down, and coat it with PlatiDip - weather-proof coating, and easy!

I think Lowes has some panels, that is where I purchased one that I use to make bread on. But, it would work. Also sent a pm to Rick adding my phone number but did not hear from him. I think this cart would be nice for the little guy.

I’ve seen a lot of a carts posted here and I decided this one would work for my SI #1, less than $50 from Harbor Freight , bolted in place & doesn’t take up a lot of room.

I'm sure that you can find some Dodger blue spray paint.   ;)

That's the baby brother of the one I got for my #3.  Yours is already Razorback Red, though!  I'm jealous! ;)   I had to add a top board to support the #3, though.

I found a video on trimming ribs into St. Louis style. I am thinking about posting this to save folks from paying the butcher to do this. I know some small meat shops would probably do this for free. But, if you by several racks and want to do this, would be very easy.

If you buy spares at Sam's, they come in 3-rack packs.  I usually just smoke them whole, but occasionally trim STL style.  Nothing to it!  But, to be honest, I hardly ever smoke spares anymore...the fam prefers baby backs!
