In the grill’s place is a retired Weber 7513 warming rack and similarly retired grill grate. This is what happens when you’re bored and tired of looking at parts you probably should have gotten rid of instead.
Both grates were briefly (i.e. not completely) cleaned up and then sprayed with black BBQ paint, ‘cause I’m real classy like that.
The 7513 wedges tightly between the original bowl mounting screws, so long as you install the screws
after placing the grate on the frame.
It shouldn’t work, and as the pictures reveal, almost does
not. The screw heads do however have enough clamping force to lift the entire thing off the ground by the grate (not recommended that YOU try that, but …)
Currently, the top grate is secured by random extra fencing hot wire (it’s like baling wire, but aluminum or SS) wrapped around it. I positioned it to slightly rest on the table, which also levels the grate.

It goes without saying that at least 16 of you instantly know how to obviously improve this. Fender washers, bolts, straps … or completely new and longer table top to replace it all, and so on.
As for me, I finally have a dedicated prep table, and it's mobile.
