So a few weeks back I posted this awesome deal

Ever since I have been slowly modifying it.
It didn't come with a charcoal grate so I decided to fab on with a charcoal grate from an 18 kettle that I had and some expanded steel.
Weber version of this is $32 shipped, I spent about $6 in hardware.

Also threw on these wheels, although I am going to mod this more and to put the wheels out further because this it is a little top heavy, more on that when I am finished.

I have smoked on this once and the door leaked like crazy so I added some nomex gasket, not a purdy job but is should seal a lot better.

Finally I completed it with a thermo.

This has been a fun project and the fact that I paid $40 makes it easy to justify the mods.
One other mod, I was thinking of adding these handles to the mid section but I bought some different ones.
