My WSM on Wheels.

[timothy]

Ever since I put a third wheel on my 22.5" OTG, I figured the triangular brace with the wheels and a front caster would work on my 18.5" WSM.
A few weeks ago someone tossed a OTS in the dumpster at work. The bowl was toast, missing the front leg and the back legs were bent to heck. Only thing salvageable were the wheels and T-brace. The brace was pretty rusted and after cleaning with a wire wheel most of the plating was gone or pitted. I painted it with Rustoleum black hammered finish. The wheels cleaned up nice almost like new. I scrounged around my garage and found some J-bolts and 2 3/8" Shaft collars for spacers @ the wheels. I already had the caster, so total investment was just some elbow grease, and a few brews.

Nice work, Tim!

I like that you left the hook on the front of the wire rack. Never know when you will feel the need to drag it around your yard!

Thanks guys!

Tim,
Got any close ups of that caster? What size is it?

Thanks Drew and AJ!
AJ I added some close ups on the caster. I think it's a 3" picked up from Lowes about 3 yrs ago.
There is about a 1/2" dif in hgt from the Weber wheels on the T-brace to the caster hgt.
I used the J-hooks with additional nuts and washers to make up that difference.
As you can see, I had to set the front part of the brace off center for the caster's bolt.
Not really happy with that. But I'm workin on a fix.

Thanks Tim,
Be sure to keep us updated on that fix!
It has given me a few ideas of my own.

Cool.
The one think I like on this board, is we can all share ideas, and someone can take that and make it better.

Thank you for this! Yesterday when I came home I saw a Weber triangle wheel set -- exactly what you posted -- in our buildings trash pile! My wife looked at me like I was nuts (we all know "the look"). I'll probably be putting this on next weekend.
