Help Me Out With A Grill Cart...

I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing with my knock-off weber. I’m thinking I’ll probably just make a side table that will butt up against it on one side, possibly attaching where the screw holes for the handles are.

Since a real weber has welded handles instead of screw on ones, you may need to make holes on one of the sides that doesn’t have a handle already.

If you are looking to make a drop in table like sawdustonmyshoulder, i’d think leaving and inch or two would be enough distance – how ever far your handles are away from the grill should be enough I’d think, although weber uses a plastic composit and not wood for the handles – my knock off and others use wood sometimes with about 1 1/2 inch standoffs separating the wood from the kettle.

I built my old propane grill into a deck table and it worked real well, and lasted for years. Give the grill a 2” gap between itself and any wood, and line the wood surface with tin. I supported the grill on metal fence stakes. The tin lining was just sheet metal. No problem!

Tile and flashing make a good heatshield, maybe do half tile top and half cutting board top…with side box for the spices and hooks for implements…
