The new SnS Deluxe kettle is a nice grill. The tried-and-true Weber Performer is a nice grill. I combined the designs to create what I consider to be the best of both worlds. I repositioned the legs/wheels on the SnS kettle to roll in the direction of the long axis of the grill. Then I constructed a larger and stable table/worksurface for the grill. I added the longer and more substantial bottom storage shelf. The V leg ties the table and shelf together to add stability and support. All wood parts are reclaimed redwood.
With the major construction modifications complete, I added the grilling necessities and conveniences. The front table apron is fitted with a metal handybox cover where the magnetic base of my FireBoard mounts. The obligatory bottle opener is mounted there as well. The table end is the mounting point for the V leg and has a turned hand grip for moving the grill. The back of the table has hooks to hold the BBQ tools and gloves.
To light an early start or late finish, I mounted an LED gooseneck lamp on the back side of the table. The lamp folds out of the way when not needed. I mounted a power strip under the table and recessed it to clear the hanging tools. The strip powers the USB LED and accessories such as the rotisserie motor.
I designed and mounted a paper towel dispenser under the grill table. The weight of the towel roll and axle provides enough friction to prevent the towel roll from "unraveling" when the wind blows.
