I used to tow my kids behind my rider mower in a landscape cart when they were young.
I made it sound like the Disney jungle ride going through all of our overgrown area’s.

I was doing that also yesterday. The little one is frightened of the noise. But, riding with her sister and Nona in the wagon behind it was just fine. She had a ball. Many years ago, when my 2 were little, I had a cart full of the neighborhood kids. IIRC there were 5 of them back there, maybe 6. And they were doing the pretend roller coaster waves and all. I guess I got it a little too close to the large culvert next to the house (at that time they were quite deep), and the cart spilled all of them out. Of course I was concerned but they thought it was great fun and that I did it on purpose. "do it again daddy" Also on cold Halloween nights, I'd cart them around with the tractor. Now we get the lazy ones who are chauffeured in the vans and SUVs

Thread 'Home built stainless grates'

I have a Yoder 24" x 48" charcoal grill. After several years, I've burned through the original mild steel flattened expanded sheet grates. Got tired of eating rust.

Equipment....

Miller 400 welder. 240V 50A production welder
3M Speedglas autodarkening helmet.
Fixture table, 24"x48" Fabtop w/ legs, casters and a few accessories. Shout out to https://weldtables.com
Power bandsaw, 4"x6", from Harbor Freight with a good bimetallic blade
Grinding wheels on 4.5" grinders from Pferd-USA. Won't use anything else
Tungsten-carbide rotary chamfer tool sourced from Amazon

I had some jigs...

Hey JKalchick,
What is that in the background of your last picture?
Is that a homemade gravity fed smoker by chance?
Do tell.

Yes, it is. 5 cooking grates, each large enough for 2 full packer brisket. Charcoal column holds just under 20 lbs. of natural lump, good for 10-15 hours of burn. Fully insulated, 2" of rock wool everywhere, and the firebox cavity is loaded with insulation. Cooks wonderfully. Plans from smokerbuilder.com, and I can't say enough good things about Frank and his gang.
 
That is freaking awesome.
I want one.

I would love a Stump’s (or something very similar) with stainless racks.
I think that gravity is the best design out there unless you want to add sticks every 20 minutes 😳.
