Weber Kettle Table Project
So I started this project in the middle of February. I have been wanting to build on of these for quit some time now. Well, I got my hands on a piece of 10' x 36" stainless steel and figured this would be the perfect top for my Weber table.
I used 2x2 square tubing for the frame work and put on some heavy duty casters. 20210221_143717.jpg I welded a piece of sheet metal to the bottom and cleaned it up.20210226_125147.jpg I cut the holes in the stainless for the kettles to drop in to. I cut them for the kettles to fit perfectly on the rim, but when it was doing the test fits, I didn't like how the lid fit. So I fabed up some brackets and re fit the the kettle. For this I used a kettle that I had laying around in the back yard. Doesn't everyone just have a few kettles laying around in the backyard?  20210310_142114.jpg 20210319_151214.jpg Just when I think I'm close to being done... "Hey Carl you should put a door in the middle of this so you have storage" says my friend. And the wife says, "that's a great idea". So I order a set of stainless doors and fab up the framing for them. more welding and grinding.  20210320_144645.jpg 20210321_143743.jpg I finally get to the dry fit point and unbox 2 brand new copper kettles. I had to cut off the handles for them to fit properly in the holes. I attach them to the brackets and fit the door. I welded up some 1" angle iron for the top edge and a place to hang the lid when needed. 20210327_150043.jpg 20210327_150142.jpg I decided that I really wanted the stainless top to "POP". I proceeded to put swirls on the top and the door. During this time I also rusted and clear coated the angle iron edge. 20210403_163938.jpg Time to prime and paint and clear coat. 20210410_104619.jpg 20210410_135224.jpg After spending a lot of time color sanding and buffing the paint it was time for assembly. 20210416_155339.jpg 20210416_163016.jpg 20210416_163355.jpg And here is the final product. 20210416_165838.jpg 20210416_165850.jpg The next thing I need to do is order a custom cover for it. I have way too much time and money in this thing for the New Mexico sun and weather to destroy. Currently it is sitting in the garage. The weather is supposed to be crap for the next few days. I think the first cook on it will be next weekend. Thank you for looking. Carl

Wow! That's fantastic!
Thought I heard a ruckus from across the way, but wasn't sure. That's a really sharp looking piece of kit! You could have dueling kettle races amongst the family.... hope that'll make the QTalk forum soon.

You need a WSM on one end and the kettle on the other!
Awesome job. Would love something like that but not real feasible in central NY.... Keeping rust off it would be a full time job, no matter the materials and coatings. Anyway, great skills and that is a really nice setup. Congrats on the design & execution. Enjoy the heck out of it. |
