I'm hoping you all can give me some hints or something. I have a Char Broiler gas grill that is going to the curb on the next neighborhood cleanup.
It happens to have a stainless steel lid. It was only $200 grill so stainless steel isn't very heavy. I have the idea of using that lid as scrap metal to fabricate a homemade Smokenator type device. Is there any reason why it would not work?
Matter of fact the lid is also double walled buy a an additional screwed in panel on the underside. Would there be any advantage to keeping it double walled?
Lastly do you all think the gauge of the steel would be heavy enough work properly for this type of fabrication?
Lastly how could I cut it without having proper metal working tools? Could I use a hack saw and some type of hole saw for holes on top.
Thanks ahead of time for any assistance or suggestions!
