I know it's ice cold and snowing in some other parts of the country forcing you guys indoors, so I thought I would post a few pictures of a custom Smokey Joe I did a while back for your perving pleasure. I'm not a fan of the new legs in fact I hate them because they are so weak and bend so easily, so I have been experimenting trying to come up with substitutes for the last few years. This is one style that I like. You can also put the ash pan on it, and it looks good, but real
Grillfella's don't need no stinki'n ash pans now do they? I also painted the legs green in a lame attempt to match the bowl and give it that sixties look. I like that these legs were meant to be used for serious grilling just like the old style ones. No custom grill would be complete without a
Brandle either. This is an unfinished/tongue oiled old style single screw walnut. I also made a table for you side table guys, it's pictured with and without the tabletop and actually works and can be used either way. I sure wish they would bring that old 70's Sage/Olive color back and I really hope someone scores one for the rest of us to get a really close look at and see exactly what that color looks like first hand. I think this Crate & Barrel grassy green might be the closest they have ever gotten to it since then. Enjoy,
PS. Moderators, if you think this would be a good fit, feel free to add it to the
Customs section in the gallery. I will also have more
Customs past and present to add in the coming months.
