The poor man's performer

[Hell Fire Grill]

I made this several years ago and still use it every week, probably the first of the performer wanabe kettles attached to a table. You guys that cruise the other BBQ forums probably seen this before. I figured this is a good place to share it too.

A gunk remover tool, an old garden hoe ground to the approximate diameter of the kettle.


Modified fire grate.


Homemade cooking grate.
