I got inspired to have a way to hang up the lids of my WSMs from a guy on another site. Got tired of setting them in the grass and then all that crap winding up in the cooker.
Go here (http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t282/harbormasterwyc/100_7793.jpg), here (http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t282/harbormasterwyc/100_7791.jpg) and here (http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t282/harbormasterwyc/100_7795.jpg) to see pics. I welded about a foot of 1/2" gas pipe to a piece of my old garage door opener track (never throw anything away mod). I then took an old electric fence post and fashioned it into a sheperds hook. The non-hook end slides into the gas pipe and is not fastened, allowing it to swivel. It's lag bolted to the back of the table. I like that I can hang a lid, and swivel it out of the way over the top of the other WSM.

Five-
That table's about 16-18 inches. Pic might be deceiving. I'm 5'8" but don't care for being bent over all the time. Best thing about makin' the legs too long is I can alwas cut 'em off!

doh! thats a great idea. my wife has a bunch of these plant hangers that are about six feet tall with a big hook on top and two spikes on the bottom to push into the ground. i had the same problem you had but it looks like the problem is solved. thanks!

TK - Those handles were only $2 a piece. I only put 2 on each to start, but it looks better with 4 handles on each.

i may find something similar that i can stick in the umbrella holder on my 69.00 bbq cart, and hang em there.. smart thinking HM!!i usually put the cover down on my patio and stick the lid on it. makes a mess of the cover but oh well. better than leaving a grease ring on my patio.
