In 3 weeks I need to transport my smoker to a festival. I need some advice.
I have searched a little and it seems that most people transport it assemebled. They run bungee cords from the handle on top to each of the three legs to hold it together.
Muy question is this.... it won't fit IN my car standing up. I have a hitch mounted cargo carrier (a metal platform that hangs behind the car from the trailer hitch). However, the platform is only 20 inches deep. If I stand the webber on this platform and figure out some way to lash it down will it stay standing over bumps and such? I sort of feel like it might topple out of the carrier (which only has short 6" walls) when I hit a bump or something.
Here is a link to my cargo carrier for anyone who cares.
This is my cargo carrier
Alternatively, can I lay the assmebled unit on it's side without damaging the cooker or the finish too much? If so I can probably fit it inside the car in plastic.
A third option would be to transport it in pieces I suppose, but that would take up a lot of my cargo space. (I am going camping and I need to hail a ton of stuff.)
A trailer is not really an option.
