I'm working on a table plan for a Kamado Joe Big Joe 24 inch, 250 lbs ceramic Q.
I've seen a lot of tables with screws used to fasten frames to the 4x4. A lot of wood working sites say to use carriage bolt. My table will be made with cedar. It will be on 4 heavy duty 4 inch casters for easy movement for cleaning. 2x4's will be used for the rest of the structural framing. I purchased a Kreg Jig to keep the screws hidden.
Do you guys think carriage bolts will be necessary attach the 2x4's to the 4x4 corners or will the Kreg joints be strong enough to fasten to the 4x4 for the purpose of a table for a 250 Pound XL sized cooker?
Do I need to use 4x4 for this table. Will a well built 2x4 frame hold up over the years? Are 4x4 a neccessity if the table is on casters?
