“Frankin-Weber-Cart” - Lots of PICS

[Earl D.]

Finished my “Frankin-Weber-Cart” today. Here are the pictures I took while I working on it. It is made from a FREE OTG Weber kettle, a Char-Broil gasser, a Charm-Glow gasser and a Kenmore gasser. I added a lid holder to the OTG and replaced the ash pan ring & one touch cleaning fins. All the gassers were free, but the Kenmore gasser cost me a whopping $7.50 at a yard sale. I made so I can attach the kettle to the gasser cart without drilling any holes on the bowl. The 2 handles fit into a slotted brackets. One screw in each bracket keeps the kettle in place.
I still need to get a new gas line and figure out where to put some BBQ tool hooks. Thanks for looking.

Niiiiiice!! ..... and great capture of the project in progress. Only part I missed is the installation of the lid holder, but otherwise perfecto!

 

[Lawrence M.]

Love it! I like how you reused the Grill grate as a shelf.

Yah. I installed the lid holder this last winter, before I even thought about adding the gasser frame to it. No pics of that.

I can tell you that the nuts that came with it were not very good. The threaded wire/ring cross threaded right away. I had to cut the threads with a small file to get a nut to thread. I ended up buying some good nuts at the hardware store to attach it to the kettle.

Nice job, well thought out also. I like taking the old and making something very useful.

Excellent cart, Earl!

Very professional looking fabrication.

It turned out about 2-3 inched shorter than the performer. I didn't think I would like that way. I grill most of the time sitting in a chair so, it worked out better for reaching in and flipping, easier to see. Lower worked out good.

 

[Becky M-M]

awesome..... just awesome. i like the grill used as a shelf as well.... pretty neat repurpose.

Someone should start "BBQ Wars'
You know the show I am talking about..
Get 2 teams of 3 people each, send em out on a scavenger hunt. Can't buy any parts and give em one day to build the most Wicked bbq ever!
I would totally watch that show.. or be on it.

 

[Earl D.]

I think you got something there. Just like building a UDS. The fun is finding everything to make it.

 

[Chad Anderson]

Love it! Free and reusable is great isn't it

I've been doing the same with free or nearly free Weber gassers. So far; one wsm cart in progress, one prep cart in progress, and one double performer starting soon.
