I am thinking about building my own interior second shelf. "Just thinking about it".
Maybe on each side wall about midway way up between the chimney outlet and level to the opposing side mount (2) approx 1.5" pieces of stainless angle (3/4" x 3/4" maybe 1x1") on each side to hold the shelf up. Yes this would require drilling into the side of the smoker body.
The shelf would be either stainless rod (like the grates) or stainless expanded metal or perforated metal. The shelf would be framed at least on the long sides with the same 3/4"x 3/4" angle. If made of rods it would be fully framed in angle steel. The angle stainless 304 would be about 35$ and the perforated 16g stainless 1" by 4 ft would be about 80$ or rods and expanded about 20$ cheaper. All metal and bolts would be 304 stainless.
I know there might be issues with air flow.
I can cut and make this myself. I am not trying to be cheap, i just don't like that the Rec Tec upper shelf has legs using up space on the lower shelf surface.
Again just thinking about this, What do you guys think?
