SS Performer charcoal box mod

The charcoal storage box on my SS performer is only used to keep gloves, wood chunks and ashes & pine needles that find their way in. The charcoal likes to live in the garage.

I think there has to be a better way to utilize that space!





I beat the edge of a SS pan flat so it will fit into the charcoal storage box without falling in. The plastic around the top of the coal box had to be trimmed a little so the pan will go in.



Now I can haul all the extra junk I need to the grill outside, from the kitchen, in one trip. The beers already in the garage so I dont need to bring it out.

That's cool! I always thought that the charcoal would get wet. Did it get wet when you used it as a charcoal holder?
Wife said "No more GRILLS in this house!" So I bought a 2nd house!

I didn't notice wetness the time I kept char there.

A spot to put a carry tote. Like it. Mine's wasted space there. It's inherently awkward to scoop charcoal up and out, no matter the scoop IMO.
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

I see you keep the 50 cal bottle opener handy. Definitely a grilling essential

I like it! You could still use the charcoal box as a cooler, just fill with ice and voila!
Wanted: 18" Platinum any color will work
This is my Kettle there are many like it but this one is mine......

That is nice work!
My coal bin is where I keep my chimney and my modular baskets (the baskets that I took apart to use in different configurations).

I never kept charcoal in there. My gloves and whateverelse is in it stays dry from the hose spraying or rain, but they'll mold if left there to long. Almost nothing will mold in my garage so the coal lives there.

That's a cool mod. You can still store your gloves etc under the SS pan.

I will say that I keep my coal there. It is handy having it close. It scoops fine with an ice scoop.

In humid and rainy Seattle winters I have had no issues with moisture or mold.
