Hi All, this is a needed stand, considering the special shape of the chamber lid and spout. It's just not practical to try and work a roast by laying the chamber
on its side. Its design puts the LID TOP upright, and it is sturdy. The chamber
handle will be in the correct spot for an easy grab when you are ready, and that
is quite clear when the chamber is HOT!
I ordered mine because I got a super deal on a used GC that came without the stand. The stand build is all quality, as you will find out. Get it!
