I was bored today, so I made this thing…

Feast your eyes on this thing. I just got the steel fire pit a few weeks ago after my cheap big box home store one finally gave up its ghost. I found the new pit on a local buy-sell board. It’s a great open top fire pit but I wanted to be able to grill. I thought about what I wanted for a few days and when I saw an old bed frame on the curb for free, I snatched it up for the free angle iron. I had an idea…

Got the welder out of the shop and after a few hours I had this freaking thing. I wanted the two grills to be able to slide over the coals and then be able to slide off the heat to keep food warm or just store out of the way after grilling. The rack guides and holds the two sliding grills. The entire rack just slides off when I am not in a Grilling mood. I made the rack to catch the rim of the fire pit so that it can’t tip if I have something heavy (like a pot) on one side. The sliding grills came from another curb find, a free BBQ pit. I took the grills and left the pit with a friend who wanted it for a smoker.

Seems to work well. Grilled some thick pork chops stuffed with pork sausage guts. Tasty chops.
