I am envisioning a insulated box just sitting right on top of the desk, maybe 2 rows. maybe make it a side by side double door where they both open from the center out, with slam latches. Then each of the two rows can each be separated into 2 shelves, giving 4 independent shelves that can each pull out. I think someone out there also makes a aftermarket pellet system that you can integrate into this.

This is a very interesting topic and some great thoughts so far. I worked with disabled people for a year after I finished school and what I think should work is having the grill / smoker L- shaped so you can "drive in" that would allow bigger working surface without bending too far.
For the firebox I think an offset with an lid that opens to the side could work too. That's my ideas so far. |

Thanks for resurrecting the thread, I just been busy with other "projects".
As many pointed out, there are lots of good options if someone has the option of building from scratch or commissioning a custom build. So, I've been focusing my efforts on what it would take to retrofit existing multipurpose cookers like kettles & ceramics eggs. Some of the key design criteria seem to be lowering the stand so the cooking grate and charcoal racks are more easily accessible, improving the lid/hinge systems for easier operation and providing some sort of burn safety bumper to keep folks away from the hot stuff. I appreciate the good thoughts and interest.

It broke my heart to turn down the unit from Humphreys.
Dave, WRT retrofitting an Egg or WSM, I wouldn't be able to use that well, as I can't load the charcoal or manage the fire from a seated position. Just FYI. I'm sure others that aren't as bad off as I am could, though. I'm beginning to think God wants me to give up BBQing.

I don't know if they are still made, but some of the older Treager pellet cookers had a sliding door, similar to a miniature garage door the raised up and into the cooking chamber. With an extension of some kind, I think that mite work. Also Gorilla pellet grills have a door the slides sideways, with round shelves that can be rotated to access the meat.
For a vertical smoker maybe a door that operates like a side door on a mini van that pulls open a little then slides sideways, out of the way. A setup that has rotating shelving like an Old Hickory could work for easy access to the food. Dave

Mo-Dave, THOSE are the dumbest ideas I've ever heard.
Just kidding. Actually, I love the idea of a sliding door. I actually asked a fabricator about that awhile back - not Humphrey's - and was told it would be too hard and/or too expensive. I still think it's a great idea.

FTR, smokinit (Kevin) offered me a great deal on a customized Humphrey's brand smoker. Even with the great deal he's offering, I'm still trying to figure out how to pay for it. I may be crazy for even thinking about it, but dang it, I miss being able to BBQ. To make it a better deal, he's offering to pick it up from the builder and try to get a Brethren train (tag team) down here.
I know I'm stupid for even considering it - even with a layaway - right? I'm being selfish, I know. I should stand down, right? Crud! No, I'm not addicted to Q ;)
