I think that you did a great job. No need to apologize for anything. I'm glad the grill I found inspired you so much. When I found mine, and saw the ashpan was missing, the first thing that came to mind was how cool it would look to put the triangular pan on the bottom of it. After seeing yours, I must say...it looks like it belongs there! Very nice work.
Please tell me more about how you did the "DEMO" stencil. Is it just painted on? Will it most likely just rub off when you clean it?
