Let me clarify my last post
If you have 2 fixed /2 swivel 8" wheels I don't think you will have a problem as mike said.
I ordered 4 swivels so that I could push it in between two items and be able to pull it straight out and then move it. Very difficult with 2 fixed wheels
In my case going across a slope is a little challenging because of the 4 swivels.

The 8" caster upgrade is really overkill @ 1500 lbs capacity per caster. If the smoker weighs 725 pounds you only need 725/4 lbs per capacity per caster.
As a matter of fact, this is the only competitor smoker on the market which doesn't have brakes on the swivel caster.
I don't know how the casters are mounted. I wonder if you could switch them out to a caster with brakes?
