Charcoal Holders.
« on: June 16, 2018, 01:19:23 PM »
Made some charcoal baskets/ rings out of 10 gauge ventilated 304 stainless.  No drilling necessary as the holes line up perfectly to accept a 1/4" bolt. 

9 1/2", 11 1/2" and d 19".

It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Where did you source the ventilated steel?

Most  local stores that specialize  in metals should have some remnants in stock.  Typically sold by square feet and they'll cut any dimensions that you meed.

I need one of those snake set-up ones!!  That’s pretty slick. What did you put in the middle?

Just bolt down 2 pipes spaced about twice the thickness of the sheet and bend it until you get to the desired diameter.  Simple and works all the time.

Thanks. They are real nice to look at in person especially at night with the charcoal raging hot. Well worth the $22 per sq ft price tag.  Should last a very long time.

Call me stupid, but I'd love to see some photos of your bending set up.

There you go.  A much larger diameter pipes would work better but it's not necessary since the width of the material being bent is very small. Just insert  the sheet between the pipes and push down  to your desired curvature. Also if you have a tree trunk that has a nice round trunk with the right diameter, just screw one end of the sheet and wrap it around. Not much effort to bend the sheetmetal being less than 5" wide.  The holes in it also makes it much easier to bend.

For sharp right angle, i use this old bed frame.

Thats awesome right there!....I was just looking at a bending brake at the store and couldn't justify buying it for the amount of times I'd need it.  Problem solved!

Its amazing how quickly one weber kettle turns into more than a dozen!  Always open to grabbing something interesting so let me know what you've got!

Same here. I've been meaning to get a sheetmetal brake for years but  never got around to it  because of the price.  One of these days when i can find some metal bars for free or cheap, I'll probably just make a manual brake. Should be  a pretty simple  project.
