Looks great. What did you paint the ash catcher with?

The 4 X 4 of performers!  Great mods - you gave that grill new life.

It's been my gamer for close to 5 years now.  Needed some TLC.

Bob, that is outstanding!!!

You need to figure out how to mount a motor on that bad-boy somehow... not only would you cook the best food, you could also drive it to the event ;) 8) 8)

Awesome!  I'm doing similar mods to mine!  I have similar wheels - how did you secure them on the axles?  Did you have to cut down the axles, or where they pre-cut to that length?  (mine are pre-cut, but I think they're too long)

Thanks,  Axle is 5/8 Threaded Rod I bought a 6' length and cut it in half and then to size using a hand grinder with a cutting blade.  Wheels are attached with just 5/8 nuts and washers on each side of the wheel.
