Kevin has recently welded and manufactured a top trey assembly holder to support the top end of the center rod holding the meat treys in place. To do so, i have taken a 1/4 inch thick by 12 inch long steal plate. I drilled holes 8 inches apart to assemble bolts through the top cover of the smoker to fine adjust the location of the center rod. I then took a 1 and 1/2 inch diameter pipe and welded it to the center of the plate for the rod to be located in.
