My Charbroil gas grill gave up the ghost last year and after going grilless I decided I wanted something along the lines of a the old school Hibachi grill.....You know those cheap-ass Taiwan things that fell apart after a few years of use.
Cheap and all I liked the way they cooked a steak.
I read of a "Sportsman's Pro Grill" by Lodge along the same lines and they were very well reviewed so I ordered one.
It came in yesterday (very heavy cast iron construction) and I decided that I needed a stable stand of about waist level but I did not want it taking-up much room on the patio.
I remembered that I had a solid steel chair down on the river so went and got it and cut the back off.....Perfect!
I then cleaned/painted it
I fashioned a bottom shelf for it to sit my charcoal bucket (a repurposed cat litter container) and then painted it.....It holds 10# of charcoal easy enough.
I also made a lid out of a old baking pan.....Sigh, the MK I eyeball was a bit off when I made the handle....Opps!
Anyhoo it turned out fine, I'll test drive it tomorrow after the paint cures overnight.
