I found similar rack made by LEM at Bass Pro Shop if anyone is interested. Shown here in my previous post.

Hey Tony, could not find them at my local Bass Pro..  :( I also have a Midland hardware store close to my house. Going to see if they have the racks tomorrow.

Just ordered 2 racks and can pick up at the store. Very easy and no shipping charges.

What's the dimensions of the cooling racks, Rick?  Great idea!
According to the fine print in the second picture, 14.5" X 20". 

Dang, I'm wanting some cookies, bad!!!

Holy cow, Dave!  Guess you have better eyes than I do!  Thanks!

Hey Tony looks like they are just an inch shorter than what Steve sells. I like the fact am saving shipping costs by picking them up locally..

Sorry, been away from the computer for awhile fishing for humpys  :)

Yep, the dimensions are 14.5 by 20 inches. Except for the feet which can be bent down, they fit nearly perfectly in the #3. With the new side rails, seems that almost doubling the capacity for jerky or smoking salmon is a super bargain  :)

Hey Rick, did you have any luck fishing? And isn't it about time for the salmon to start running?

Hi!Had great luck today with a limit of 4.... Just canned them with garlic cloves and jalapeno rings....  Hope to start smoking once the run really takes off and I can ensure enough to fill the smoker  :)

Hey Rick, sounds like a plan, wish you good fishing. Also hope there are no snakes around where you fish.

Hey Rick, am having trouble bending the feet on the racks? I know you said you used a vice, but cannot get the feet on mine to move. Also how did you put the rack into the vice?

Does a dremel tool to cut the feet off make more sense?

Hey Dave, That would but the rail with the feet are a solid piece and that thought did cross my mind. I just think it would make the rack not as strong. I may run over to my cousins and see if we can heat it a little and bend with a hammer. He also has a larger vice than I do.
