BBQ build in

[chipBit]

Hello Fellas,

Sharing a BBQ build in table on casters.
10 ft long, 304 stainless 1.5" tube 1/8". Princess Auto, hinges and casters 5" x 2".
Plan is to have butcher block on top, and paneling boards around.
A bit hard to square everything with slopped garage floor .

that's really nice, keep those pictures coming. Love to see more.

one problem though, you have room to work. I'd say more equipment is in order. :>

 

[chipBit]

Thanks @Janger , more equipment only from boss approval

Looks great. I feel your pain with the sloped garage floor.

 

[chipBit]

One week progress, half way done. I think

Nice I’d get a Co2 extinguisher though at least you could salvage some meat!

Nice arrangement for your BBQ.

The light gauge original burners are designed to last five years - Max.
If your burners are a few years old you might want to try my HSS units.

See my photo.
I made this two compartment burner and it has been roasting my steaks since last summer.
I had a fellow CHMW say the burner will likely last longer then the rest of the BBQ.

That came out great. I like the industrial/rustic look and it fits the space great.

Thank you. I will keep that in mind. Its a brand new unit. Hope to get few years out of the burners. Indeed everything is light gauge these days.

A great job on the BBQ table!
Please try to keep a good air space between the house and the BBQ, if that is where it is in use. I have seen a number of houses with badly warped sideing, a few with melted sideing and 2 that burnt down from the BBQ up against or close to the house, one that shattered a sliding door from the heat.
I am not a fireman or any such thing, just seen the results of too much heat against or to near to a building from a BBQ.
I am not against BBQ-ing, and love a good fire, just not someone's house, or such.

Definitely, it will be rolled out. It puts some heat. Only close to the house for storage. Its one of the reason I wanted on casters.

The sheet metal things they sell these days aren’t made to last but they still get the big bucks for them. I think it‘s a tossup whether the burners go first or the bottom “tub”. More of the disposable economy.

I’m another that still has the previous generation full cast aluminum shell and I’ll keep feeding it burners because it works so well, the latest was a cast iron one.

I’ve thought a few times to make up something out of stainless tube but it won’t be any time soon because I just scored a couple more cast ones cheep on clearance at CTC.

I took my old barbecue and converted it into a welding table. I discarded the burner box and shelves, replaced them with a 1/4 in. steel plate gifted me. Very handy for small projects and I can wheel it around for storage.
