My Custom cart... OTP & Performer ancestry...

Almost done. Started with my OTP and fabricated a new frame (1" EMT). I stretched, and raised the height since I'm 6'4 and bending over the grill is bad on the back. Just bought a performer from craigslist for the other bowl. Added Maple Butcherblock top for work area in the center. Now I can run two cooks in the cart and workspace inbetween. Still have some minor details to finish up, mathcing handles (Maple), wire shelf below, replace some rusting components in one kettle (OT vent assembly), but will be able to use the rig tomorrow for a get together.

my honey got me 2 smokenaters so I think we are ready... Next will be to increase the volume by adding a cajun bandit maybe...

Nicely done! Looks great! Know the back problem I just got a performer platinum and didn’t realize it was taller than my OTS, just another added bonus.
 
Thanks all, ran both for my birthday bbq/smoke out on the 20th. My bday is 21st. Did some parts swaps changing out dampers and OT vent parts. Running a bit smoother with better air control now.

Have a great GrillfeSt today!
