Default Bradley Smoker Stand

Got a Bradley 4 Rack Smoker for Christmas and am looking for a stand to raise it off the ground about 2 feet. What are you folks doing for a stand because it doesn't look like Bradley makes a custom stand.

Pic of smoker from website below.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Congrats on getting into the smoker game if it’s your first.
I have used a Bradley just like yours for 6 years now and it’s well seasoned.
I found 2 old end tables at a garage sale and joined them together with a piece of 3/4" plywood I had. Not pretty but serves the purpose.
Have fun.

I use an old coffee table. I can then store the pucks, racks, whatever underneath.

I use one of these. Portable and some extra shelves. I cut a piece of plywood for the top of the cart to keep the smoker up out of the tray.

Default Armoire

I re-purposed one of these and applied a durable outdoor coating . Smoker in the top.. variety of smoker pucks in the drawers and some other useful accessories /tools . Also allows for use even in colder winter days as it insulates too.

I dont have an idea for you - I use my glass patio table and its not ideal obviously. I have been looking for something that can be left out in the weather and also would have a dry/sealed storage area for the pucks, oven mitts, brushes, etc. so the moisture or mice don't get in there. Still looking, but maybe those criteria would be worth considering for you as well.

Default For my first Bradley

I built a 4' garden bench out of cedar, the Bradley fit on one side with enough room to use a table to set stuff down. Stored the smoker in the garage used the bench on the deck.

I built a small house for mine. It has a tall door in the front, a peaked roof that’s shingled. There’s about 4 to 6 inch clearance around it and it sits on slotted boards for ventilation. Above the smoker; the front of the peak is screened to let the smoke out. It sits on a frame about 40” high, on stilts and I put a small work table on the front that hinges down when not in use. When using the table; I just flip it up and put a stick under to hold it up. The door is on a piano hinge and stays closed with both a hook & eye and a small magnetic catch. My smoker sits in it year-round, just outside of my garage man-door.

Sounds like a fantastic set-up, was thinking of doing the same.

My brother is a carpenter. That might be a project for him to build for me. Thanks for the idea!
