BBQ Pit and Smoker Casters | 280 to 1,500 lb

These BBQ pit and smoker casters fit outdoor pits, smokers, and heavy cookers that need heat-ready wheels and plate mounts. Casters in this collection range from about 280 to 1,500 lb per caster. Set-of-four pack totals are not used as the per-caster max. Wheel materials include high-temp phenolic, glass-filled nylon, and other heat-capable treads. Soft polyurethane on aluminum (~85 Shore A) or TPR is better on finished patio floors with grit, but high-temp phenolic or metal is the better pick near open heat. Match plate size, overall height, and heat rating before you order. Choose swivel casters when the pit must turn in place, rigid casters for straight rolls, and add a brake when it needs to stay put. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Capacities below are per caster unless a listing says set. High-temp wheels: high temperature wheels. Broader plate aisle: plate casters.

Questions

What wheel material for a smoker?

Semi-steel and ductile iron handle radiant heat better than soft rubber. Phenolic and glass-filled nylon work when the caster stays cooler than the firebox.

Per caster or set of 4?

Ratings here are per caster unless the title says set. Divide set capacity by four only when the listing clearly states a set rating.
