So how do you replace casters and which ones/what size does a person get?

You screw the old ones out and put the new ones in. There is a post in the mod section regarding casters that have some links.

One of the best mods for these Smokefires. I had the larger casters on hand when I received my Smokefire delivery.

I brought home a house jack and jacked it up on one end and swapped them out. I think Abmet had an easy way he used.They are threaded in.
I used these.

After looking, it’s just unscrew, then screw in new? Ive seen bolts on the top of the caster threads. Are these bolts used?

You mean nuts? No you don’t need them.

I just researched Amazon and even looked for red ones, those ones I and others bought look like the best option to me.
That being said I did get a little rust inside on my wheels, looks like it’s on the metal that is the actual locking brake. They still look good and work great.

I have the same ones...makes moving the unit around a breeze.

I’m a child and laughed too hard at this.

I used a bucket and some scrap wood to raise a side off the ground to install mine. Just don’t go so high that it would tip over.
