Finally done...I think. All the hardware is on and I put the SS prep area on yesterday.

Thanks guys. It is pretty sturdy. Weighs between 400 and 450 so I doubt it's going anywhere. I was thinking about putting some metal cross ties on the back and sides to increase rigidity. I threw a level on all four corners last weekend and it was dead on, so I may not have to.

I didn't suspend it with a chain. I used the handles and 4 rafter ties secured underneath the 2x4's and bent upward at a 45° angle to fit underneath the lip of the kettle.

Almost done. Just a few things left to do. Still contemplating how best to secure the kettle other than the handles. I did fire it up yesterday to season it.

Pics from last weekend and today: I was able to make good progress today. About 5 hours later: Yes, it is high. About 40" to the top. My main question to anyone who may have experience. Will the two handles be sufficient to support the kettle? I have a couple of options available to...

Thanks for the welcome! I'm starting a new thread with the build pictures.

Hi all, Been lurking here and other forums looking for ideas on a custom cart. I have a chimney and a Grand Turbo 36 built into an island. An Orion Cooker. And just 4 months ago got a CharGriller Acorn Kamodo. But no Weber! Haven't used the gasser in years. Was using the chimney pretty much...
