Always wanted it raised up a bit...
« on: June 11, 2018, 06:02:37 PM »
So says I to myself, "it ain't gonna get done unless you do it" "And while your at it, why not make you so slots to hold those grills your not using" Not the prettiest thing in the world, unpainted, needing a little caster rework, but I'm thinking it will work just fine.

Caster rework scheduled for tomorrow, had to get some Ribeye's on for Reverse Sear.

I like it. Simple, but gets the job done. Good job, Sir.

Thanks Jimmy and Eric.
Then I remembered what else might fit. A full size baking pan, currently used to cover my Blackstone 22.


Think I should paint it or just let it be?

Painting it will make the inevitable grease drips easier to clean up

Painted, Casters Revisited and removed, it now sets on a 4 wheel Furniture Dolly. (Could not find any T Nuts or Threaded inserts for wood in 1/2 x 13 Thread size)  Corrected spelling on Pedestal for the first pictures. Yes spell checkers are great if you use them. Happy that my grills and Frog Mats now have a home not just on top of the small Burner any more.

 

Hank, you are going to be the hero of your neighborhood. The Aroma your Smokin-it is going to put out will make you almost as famous as the Meat. And most important, the Mrs. is going to Love, Love, Love your new venture!
