![]() Plain steel is fine, lower cost alternative.Ģ x pieces of copper or steel tube or pipe, slightly larger diameter and shorter length than the carriage bolts, to use as spacers. ![]() Stainless steel is ideal, as these will be exposed to both heat and the elements. This becomes the "bowl" top of the grill and cooking surface area.Ĥ x pieces of small diameter steel pipe, about 6" in lengthĢ x 90 degree pipe elbows of same diameterĢ x pieces of flat material that you like to make side countertop surfacesĪ piece of wood, species of your choice, sized for a lid handle.Ģ x Carriage bolts (about 5" long) with matching nuts and washers.
