Thanks for the kind words guys!! I had a lot of fun with this project, so much so that I am planning on building one for myself as soon as I can put my hands on another OTP.
@brewtownbeatdown, the new owner has been a great family friend since long before my time. We used to go camping with his family a couple times a summer when I was a kid. I was excited that he asked me to help him, he was expecting just a standard table grill, it was fun to surprise him!
@swamprb, good eye. The lower rack is in fact upside down, I just liked the way it looked upside down better so I opted to do it that way.
@Bob BQ, I used pine for the entire project. Pine can be tricky to finish but I have always thought it is an underrated species. It's usually my go to wood for projects like this. Thanks again for all the nice comments and big thanks to the local grill-fellas who helped me out!
