This project started with a need to haul more grill space in a short bed truck. My first attempt used 4 sjps. They were mounted to a central unit made from a turkey fryer burner. It required much assembly and took all of the bed space. There was no work area for food preparation. Version 2, as seen here, is based on a 6 foot stainless prep table. I have a well equipped work shop and working with metal is my hobby. We originally were going to build this with blue 22.5 kettles. In the midst of the build, we discovered the copper colored kettles at Target and decided to go with those. We had to add the ash catchers since Target only sold silvers. The table has been in use for about 2 years. These are the first pictures we've shown on the internet. My wife calls it the Steak Machine. We added magnetic knife holders to each end of the table. I turned the joints and hinges on a lathe. I probably could have incorporated the leg braces with the mounts for the arms if I had been thinking about it at the time. The table is heavy, but can be loaded into the truck by one person. I almost always have help when unloading at the cooking site.

The 26 on this platform is incredibly stable.  The extra handle on the lid is really great.  My wife could barely lift it and not it's very easy.  I love it too.  For some reason my 26 never sat correct on it's legs so this was a great solution.....

@Star-B-Que - That is a work of art there - the size, the folding, and all the copper! Wow! I just was daydreaming about a 4 person grilling competition between 4 WKC members  with the food, beer  and smell of great BBQ in the air. Thanks for sharing, your build with haunt my dreams.
