New Kettle Table.

[Jeff]

beautiful work!

[Craig]

That looks awesome!!

As requested here are pictures of the ends of the table. The large side will be used for charcoal.




The shorter side will be used for other stuff.

Here is a picture of the door closed


And finally a picture of the "lid bail".  I am not sure I will like this setup, but I can probably get used to it.

That's AWESOME! Nicely done!!

Wish my Dad was still around so that we could build something like that. Enjoy your time with him while you can - sounds like you already do.

I'm curious, you said you used an OTG. How is the kettle supported? I figure the opening in the table needs to have room to allow for the kettle to expand as it heats up or there could be too much pressure on either the kettle or the table. Is the kettle sitting on some kind of gasket that allows for this expansion?

What happened to the handles on the base? Are they integrated into the table top? Are they being used to support the base?   I thought about doing that with the table I would like to build but am concerned that the handles aren't designed to support the load of a full kettle, especially when in use; but, I'm no engineer so this is purely unfounded conjecture.

Thanks for sharing!

Again awesome. out of a Russian Olive... Could you mount the lid bale to one of the doors? New style Sequoia.

New style Sequoia? So when is he going into production with the Sequoia's so I can place an order.....
Nice job on manufacturing the BBQ table. I like the lid holder down be low.

I wish I had skills like this.

Have you tested it out yet.  Will the wood stand up to the heat of the grill?

Here is a picture of how the grill is mounted to the table. I am currently using the handles to support the grill. I had/have many of the same concerns you do.

I will probably come up a few more brackets  to provide a few other support points. 


Also the hole in the table is cut at 24.5", 1.5" larger than the diameter of the kettle.

I like the idea of mounting it on the door. I will see how this works and make changes as needed.

I think you'll have to take a number. 😄

He has been busy doing kitchens for people. Here is the kitchen he did for one of my brothers. It is made out of honey locust. Another tree that would usually go to firewood

I have not tested it out yet. The hole of the table is 1.5" bigger than the kettle. Plus I hope with the open bottom the heat will dissipate and not have an adverse affect on the wood.

Thanks Marshallflyer for sharing! I appreciate your showing how the kettle is supported.

I was thinking of building mine such that the end of the table is open so that the bbq can slide in and be supported by the existing legs. I haven't decided whether to have a lower shelf that the kettle sits on top of thereby retaining the original integrity of the BBQ, or using a custom built tripod as part of the build.

Thanks again!

Hmm have you thought of putting some metallic or stainless steel sheets siding on the interior where the kettle sits?  It would give it a nice metallic look and may help protect the wood from the heat.  Lol I'm no expert so I wouldn't know if it would help.
