Rolling Cart Adaptation

Hey guys. I've been trying to come up with a good quality rolling cart for my 22.5" wsm that can provide a work space and some storage space. I saw on TVWB how someone adapted a Weber traveler cart to their WSM 22.5 and would like to do something similar. I haven't been able to find a traveler cart only and don't want to spend the money for a whole setup just to only use the cart.

I found this Grill force rolling cart on Amazon and am wondering if I could adapt it to the same purpose. Would need to cut off a few pieces for sure. Thoughts?
 
Post the link to the traveler cart, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that one. Maybe you mean Performer cart? Here’s a link to mine. Keep your eyes peeled on Craigslist or marketplace, I got mine for $100. Well worth the price, since it came with stuff I needed for additional mods.

Uncarted Territory

I started the obsession with a Fourth Generation 22” Performer Deluxe with all the GBS goodies I nabbed off Craigslist for $200. Last year we invested in a 22” WSM and that’s been our jam for all of 2023. Over the past year though, Emily and I have learned that moving the WSM can be cumbersome...

You could use the cart in the amazon link, but you’d still have to reinforce the floor for it like with the Performer carts. At $175, I would say wait on a used Performer to show up on the market cheap, then sink the remainder into a floor.

Over the past year though, Emily and I have learned that moving the WSM can be cumbersome. I thought it would be nice if a man had a Performer cart like the one for the kettle, and didn’t see why it wouldn’t work. So I started to search the web to see if anyone has attempted it, and that’s what led me to you guys! Here I was thinking I was the only goober that was mildly obsessed with...

There’s several other iterations of this, I don’t know why Weber hasn’t done it yet.

Oh nice!! I had no idea. Looks Awesome!! I don't have any experience with WSM.
I just stumbled on it and thought it was a cool idea.

I just build gasers like this one I just finished

But at some point I would like to try some other charcoal and or smoker options. I'll always love my gas grills though.
 
Maybe not the absolute best WSM cart. But definitely the easiest to do.

Harbor Freight cart; top turned upside down; nibbler drill attachment to cut the keyhole or horseshoe. This is an 18.5.

Done!

Hey, new to the forum, in the same boat, and I have to say, this looks very interesting, if it'll work with the WSM 18"!

I bought the cart and assembled it a few days ago. It's perfect for my WSM 18! I did put a wood panel under it, so that the legs won't go through. I'm assuming that's safe, with the heat deflector and the fact that no charcoal will get onto the panel.

The cart is fantastic! Thanks again!

An 18” patio paver will work very well and raise the height about two inches. I’m 6’+ and the height thing seems to be getting more important as I age! Less bending, easier on my back.
Pictures!?!?

That sounds great, I'll look into that, thanks! I'll send a photo soon, I'm out right now with family (post-Thanksgiving). Have a great weekend!
