i have a old country brazos coming my way this coming up friday.... that this grill be placed on my wooden back deck or is it too heavy? id hate to have to roll this thing out of my garage every time i want to cook. the deck doesnt have any special braces to accommodate to real heavy objects but its solid. the deck is approximate 3ft from the ground.

Shouldn't be a problem. That cooker only weighs around 400lbs.

And if your deck can't handle that then you need a new deck.

Assuming it’s a standard deck with standard joist spacing and construction, it should be fine. I

Have it on my deck. Recommend a good mat under the firebox. I had some from Amazon and they were ok...ordered a fire mat from atbbq and it is much, much better

Website has it at 400lbs. Invite a 400lb person over and have them pose on your deck for a picture.

I agree with all above. Should be fine.

Might be a problem if you have your 400lb smoker and several of your 400lb friends on the deck at one time!

I would hope that your deck could handle it and there is no such thing as a stupid question

I second that on ttk's comment. Invite only skinny people to your bbq's. Problem solved! Safety first and more leftovers for you.

I'd get some horse stall mats just in case a hot coal gets out.

Did you move? I thought your deck was 60ft.

I’d be more concerned about a deck fire than the weight.

Haha! The people I know who can eat the most are all skinny, and when it comes to safety I’d be more worried about a fire.

The other good news is that if you do decide it could stand to be a bit stiffer, that is a heck of a lot easier to achieve working at three feet than it is at sixty feet. :shock:

Tacking on some bracing or even adding a pier or two is no big deal for three feet . . . for sixty feet - Aye caramba!
