New Grilling Center for my KJ Jr. !!

[HawkerXP]

Looks great! I assume you have a forklift or pallet jack to move that thing around!?!

[Spinaker]

LOL, nope, just good old midwestern American/Norwegian heritage. LOL.

I do actually have casters to put on it, but I am not gonna bother.

[Spinaker]

I am now going to make plans for my BGE too. Such a fun project to get done. It is always fun to make a little saw dust!

[Huskee]

Inspiring! Love how you customized it for your height. I'm a shorty at 5'9", so if I ever visited you I couldn't cook w/o a step stool Love the paver idea too, genius!

[Spinaker]

Thanks!! I cooked a steak on the Jr. Last night and it was great to work at an acceptable table height. It's like a whole new world!

[RonB]

Great job Spin.

[Spinaker]

Thank you, sir!

[Spinaker]

RonB I am waiting to stain it until it gets a bit warmer out, then she will really shine!

[Dadof3Illinois]

Nice Job....So inspiring that I just finished my material list for a table my 26" Weber can fit in!!! Like the idea of the paver!!

[Spinaker]

Great to hear! Make sure you show us the build. Projects like this are so fun.

[drobinson]

I’m very impressed! Great job!

[Spinaker]

Thanks! It was a fun project!

[Spinaker]

Well It is finally warm enough over night in MN for me to stain my table! I had to take the top off and the kamado out to do it.

I just need to touch up a few spots and stain one more board in the back and she will be all done. I will post some more pics once I add the plate setter and the kamado back into the table.


I am also going to add this towel rack I made in the shop and a few more hooks the the from posts to hold a few utensils. I am also making a holder for my plate setter to be hung off the right side of the table. I think I am going to make that out of thin rebar using a some heat and a vice.

[Spinaker]

In case you are curious.......I used Cabot Australian Timber Oil Jarra Brown for the stain. Sanded there whole table down with 80-Grit on my orbital.

What a great project. I can tell you're having fun with it, Spinaker . Hope the rain holds off.

[Spinaker]

Thanks! I stained it on Monday night, and so far so good! I think I can re assemble today and get the accessories put together too. Hope you are well Kathryn!

[fzxdoc]

John, we're hanging in there, like everyone else I guess. I sure have enjoyed seeing you work on this project. You do so much good with your cooks, sharing them with the community as you do. Spinaker

[SmokeyNate]

Awesome job! That really looks nice! Loving the paver idea too, that will come in handy!

[Spinaker]

Thanks, Nate! It already has!

[Spinaker]

I guess I never updated this after I put the stain on my table. I went with Cabot Jarrah Brown stain. This stuff should hold up for a long time. I love the dark color too.

[barelfly]

The Cabot stuff is great! I just bought a gallon to reapply for my landing at the lake house. Not cheap, but it definitely is worth the price!

And I also use the jarrah brown! Your table looks great!

[Spinaker]

Yep, it is the best stuff!

Thanks! Good luck on the lake house! @barefly

[JCBBQ]

Damn Spin! I haven’t been on the Pit much. Look at your picture. I wouldn’t have recognized you without the name. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[Spinaker]

I know! Where ya been? We've missed you.

[JCBBQ]

Spinaker I missed yous (a little PA lingo from my days in Bethlehem) too. It warms my soul to read your and Mr Bones’ posts. Mr. Bones

Made a renovation. I needed a bigger hot plate surface and I found this piece of slate at my Dad's place. I sanded it down and cleaned it up quite a bit. It fits nicely in the table after I cut a few boards to make it fit properly. I was pretty happy with the upgrade. I gained about 3 inches on both ends of the hot plate over the previous one I had installed. It does not sound like much, but it sure does make a difference. And I finally put the casters on!.......only took a year and a half for me to do that. LOL

CaptainMike That fire extinguisher was purchased cause I knew you would be all over me if I was not playing safe. Thank you!

[Skip]

Looks nice John. Hope you don't need to used the Fire Extinguisher.

[Spinaker]

Thanks Skip I hope it never comes in handy either.
