Found an old BBQ in the trash yesterday, now I can easily move my UDS around, something I could not do before due to a bad back. Thanks for the idea fellow Brethren.

Perfect job of repurposing. Can never have enough shelves!

True, I realized that every time I had to lift the lid with one hand while balancing some meat with the other. I got tired of putting stuff on the ground so this garbage find was perfect, a little sanding and a couple welds and some paint and she looks brand new.

Nice cart. I did the same thing a couple months ago and love it. I left the propane burner on it and hope to put it to use one of these days.

I finished my first UDS build yesterday. I thought it turned out pretty good, thanks to all the brethren for the different build ideas and designs.

Looks kinda like one I did. Same story. Pulled from the dumpster. Now look at her.

Highcal · 06-23-2014, 07:54 PM

Looks great, and that Weber cart certainly looks more sturdy that most BBQ carts.

Have you tried "scratch and dent" stores? I picked up 3 almost complete kettles, for less than $50, last summer.

Nice build.

Your paint looks smooth.

justalilow · 06-25-2014, 08:05 AM

I thought it was going to get pretty warm but it doesn't do too bad. I seasoned it the other day for several hours and it was cool to the touch. It's from another gas grill that I dismantled for parts.
