      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.

    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!

      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!

        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!

        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.

          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.

          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

        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.

          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!

        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
