charcoal grate 3 in 1 mod

[Todd E.]

I've got a friend visiting this weekend who is an ex-welder turned farmer. To keep us out of too much trouble, I've beg, borrowed, and come close to stealing the equipment and supplies to weld up the steel for the 3 in 1 mod. It's an overkill thing for sure but we'll have some fun melting metal. Maybe I should go ahead and order a replacement charcoal grate.

. I'll try to post some pics although the ones of Seans at the above URL are pretty self explanatory.

The 3-in-1 mod is a good one. One thing to think about - if you ever envision putting the cooking grate right down on the coals for searing the meat, make the handles level and flat and not too high above the charcoal ring (I used flat bar - 1/2" x 1/8"). Wide as possible for stability is good too.

Good luck with it.
