Finished the "milk crate" mod today. I think it looks pretty good.
The large panel on the front facing side of the crate looks too...bare. I will be looking for something to place there. Maybe another Weber Logo plate? i dunno, well see.
I bought the crate at an arts and crafts store and painted it to match my wood pieces.
I had to line the interior of the crate with a black heavy duty plastic bag so that charcoal & its dust wouldn't fall out.
Then, I placed the crate under the opening allowed by sliding lid. At the moment, its easy to scoop up charcoal after sliding the lid, but once I place the basket there, I may have to slide the crate out a bit to get at the charcoal or i can remove the basket when needed. Either way its really easy an better than having to take things off the lid so that I can flip it up and grab charcoal.
Im not worried about the charcoal getting wet since I have the heavy duty Weber SSP cover on my Grill all the time that goes down to the floor.
Now I have a charcoal bin and lid hinge rod for laying around...anyone want it???

here i go again..
I decided to add a feature inspired by the newer performers.
Tilting charcoal crate!!
just bought some cable, screwed it onto the charcoal crate and anchored it to the grill
Now i can pull out the crate far enough to scoop up charcoal without needing to take the entire thing out or worrying about it falling out.

Great job, the grill really looks nice trimmed with wood.
