One of the last things left is, of course, the racks for your smoker. If you can get oven racks, that would save you a lot of work. You would simply have to cut them to the right size. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any so I had to make my own racks. It was a little time consuming but on the bright side, I could customize them to my exact wants and desires.
*NOTE* I highly recommend NOT using fridge racks. Unlike oven racks, fridge racks were not designed to withstand high heat applications. Additionally, most if not all of them are galvanized and we have already discussed the hazards of introducing that into your diets.
I made my racks using some metal mesh and 1" flatbar. I also welded on a 1" pipe clamp to each to use as a handle. It definitely makes transporting them and sliding them in and out a lot easier.

Here is my smoker with all the racks in place. I had 7 in total - in case you are wondering, the one right at the very top is there in case I want to hang jerky or sausage.
