A little public safety notice

So my Smokefire, I’ve had since 10/21. Love it. It’s been through some moves and at three different houses. And has taken a trip a time or two to my moms house. So, in the bed of the pickup 5-6 times.

Yesterday I got to rearranging my grills and cleaning the area up. And noticed a leg wobble. Well, all four legs, both bolts were loose, and I was missing the right front top bolt! Well dang.

Anyways, if yours has been rolled or moved, I’d check. Would hate for myself or anyone to have a leg pop out and drop that big beautiful ba****d!
 
I move mine in and out of the garage for every cook. I have to check those bolts periodically and they do loosen up even with the short trip from the garage. I plan to fabricate a bottom shelf and see if that helps with the situation.
 
I got to thinking about why it has those threaded inserts in bottom of legs. Seems like a future shelf may have been planned. I may have to make myself one
There is another company that makes a lower shelf for the Smokefire. It utilizes the factory lower leg holes.
I’m sure you could make one cheaper but might not be worth the time.

Also judging from the photos that lower shelf would help stabilize stresses on the legs. I know on my Big Z there is no lower shelf but there are 2 "panels" that go between the legs. I think more to stabilize than decorate. Though they look nice

That’s a nice shelf but I like a lip on the edge instead of a flat surface. I added the bottom shell to my Camp Chef, for stability, but put it on upside down because that gave me a lip.
