How To Build a DIY Mobile BBQ Cart (With Bottle Opener)

- BBQ season is well and truly here, so I fancy a BBQ, but mine is old and a bit wobbly. So I can do some safe grilling, I decided to cut mine up and make this mobile BBQ cart, with storage and a bottle opener. It's made from standard decking and pressure treated 4x2's.
This was also a project to try out the evolution R255SMS saw, I wanted to see how good the angle cuts were, dust extraction , making trench cuts, and what sort of cut finish was left on the wood. I have to say, i'm extremely pleased with how the saw preformed, the dust collection though, could be better, for me using the saw outside, it's not a real issue. But I can imagine using it in a workshop it would disappoint you a little.

Any time is BBQ time ! winter, summer, spring, or fall !
Bloody right that! Although sometimes the UK rain does put a dampner on things 😁
Yes i agree there are Dampers, can't do it in tornado's, ect.. but we did have hurricane parties
Cheers Mate
Hmmm when you out it like that, a bit of rain isn't much of a issue as a hurricane lol 👍
And the bottle opener is a nice touch. Just got a gift of one from my nephew so will add it thanks.
Haha, can't be left needing to look for one when cooking on the bbq, best to have one on hand at all times ☺
I have the similar grill and this would be a great addition to mine. Thanks for the inspiration.
No problem, solves a problem for me of having somewhere to put plates and bowls down. Should have made it ages ago
very good job! I also have the Evolution miter saw and that exact work table.
Great video that. Nice and simple assembly too. Will tackle this the weekend. Cheers !!
Great, thanks for the comment. Hope it goes well
Came for the BBQ cart, stayed for the bottle opener! 😎
Haha, I wanted to combine 2 relaxing pastimes together lol
@@JamesManCave you succeed!
How’s the heat from the bbq against the wood.
Great work
Fantastic video blog, Preserve the good work. Thanks for your time!
Thanks for watching and commenting buddy
Nice one James. Great job as always!
Thanks Zed, works a treat for me
that came very nice! I have to build something similar! Thanks for sharing! 👍
Great, will look out for that video! 👍
What do you call a line of men waiting for a haircut? A barber queue 🤣 Some useful ideas in that video 😎
The old ones are the best 🤪
Great job! I enjoyed the video and will try this.
Hey, no problem! Great to hear your gonna try it. 👍 Best of luck. I'm just starting mine up now 🍻
James that is a great piece of work sir😀. I love to bbq myself and appreciate how much help a table top right next to the grill is invaluable, and a bottle opener of course 🍻
Thank you buddy. Having somewhere to put a plate, or put the lid out of the way is a HUGE help. Been meaning to build it for a while now
Nice job James must say the r255sms is a fair piece of kit just got to set mine up then it’s ready for use
Thanks Phil, it's a great saw, but the extraction could be improved. But when you have it set up you will love it
Looks great. I would add a small tin cup or the likes below the bottle opener so you can catch the bottle lids. 👍🏻
That's a great idea. Memo noted, will add something cheers 👍👍
Well done you mad lad!
Cheers me old cock-a-doodle! Just enjoyed a BBQ this evening, and a beer or 4 hic up!
Great build mate
Thanks buddy, much easier cooking a BBQ now
Good job James, I see someone's got themselves a new tape measure 👍 😊
Thanks mate, that's not a new one, bought that when Mr Andy mac first got stock of them. However, I did purchase a measuring up podcast tape to go with my collection ☺
Cool, we all have a tape measure collection 👍 😊
Good job. Interesting to know what you did underneath to collect the dust. Also, I would suggest you install trolley wheels with locks. This will keep your cart level and you can lock your wheels.
So the dust is collected in the bottom of my kettle BBQ, as it has fitted to it a removable tank for emptying the dust. The cart doesn't move at all, because the back legs are equal hight the the legs with the wheels added to them, and the weight of it holds it steady from moving back and forth
Duck in the back garden! 😀😀
Makes a change, she's usually checking out what I'm making. Luckily for her, she's wasn't interested in the grill this time 😂
I think her instincts kept her away from the grill 😂
Had it have unattended, I'm sure she would have been having a nose around
That is really nice and giving me some ideas for a cart.
Not a proper BBQ without a beer... or 3 !
Good, glad it has helped you. I'd have 3 beers whilst it's warming up! 🤣 😂
@@JamesManCave Thats the best part - relaxing with beers while it starts. I didn't move my fridge closer to the back door for no reason... 🤣
Haha, that's a great idea! 🤣
Would you have any written instructions on how to build this along with the materials and measurements you used? Going to try on Friday 👍 thanks again
Simple but great idea. You have a lot of space next to the bbq for your meat, herbes etc... OK, now when can i come over to test it out and have a bbq together LOL
Haha, that's was the idea to be able to place things around the kettle part so I don't have to keep running about and getting stuff. Summer youtuber bbq party it is then! 🤣
great
Thanks 👍
Ive just finished me, shame I can’t add a pic! Thanks again for the inspiration to do this. My bbq was much bigger than yours so I had to use a lot more decking. I’m still amazed the wood doesn’t catch fire being so close to the bbq but maybe it’s because the decking is treated? It may also be December in Scotland, but I’m ready to bbq!
How much decking and 4x2 did you use mate
Also what else would you use instead of a heavy duty jigsaw as very expensive
Hi James, wouldnt the wood get so heated up that it burn?
Hi, no it wouldn't. I've been asked this a lot, it's only ever so slightly sitting on the wood, so it's not a huge deal of heat transfer
What length are the front and back legs please
Hello how much decking and 4x2 did you use mate
Nice work! Have you got a link to the countersink drill bit?
Hi, thanks. There is a link to that in the description box 👍
I like the simple design, but are you concerned about kettle heating up the cart?
Hi, thanks. No I'm not, ive used the BBQ loads since I built it, the wood is in a great condition. If it had of left any burn marks I would have used some screws sticking out of the side of the hole to support the kettle 👍
A Kreg pocket hole jig would hide most of those visible screws to give it a cleaner look
I have a tritan pocket hole jig, would that one still work?
James' Man Cave
Yes
Best advice is to build it without the wheels as it looks much better as a table.
Thinking of doing the same. By the way, how’s the wood handling the heat of the grill?
Do it, it works an absolute treat! The wood is holding up fine. I expected some scorch marks, but last time I looked, there wasn't any at all
Does the heat from the kettle burn the wood it's resting against? I see people putting metal between the wood and the kettle.
Nope, not hand any burning what so ever. I think because I cut the hole out straight rather then tapered, the contact between the wood and kettle is minimal
Well that's good to know. I just made a cart from an old rot iron tea cart. I cut the wood the same way. I haven't had a problem yet but my circle needs to be improved. My drum sander attachment fell apart. Right now it's resting in just a few spots.
I don't see that being a problem only resting in a few spots, as long as it's stable it shouldn't matter, well done for making one though 👍

Nothing as nice as yours but I did add a propane side burner to lite my chimney or make some red beans and rice.
@@MrFrankbee I like that, that's some great repurposing of that tea trolly. Looks quite classy actually 👌
What do you do with the ashes? Just let it fall onto the ground?
No, my BBQ has a removable jug type thing that slots in the bottom of the kettle, all the ash falls in to that and then the 'jug' can be removed and the ashes emptied
@@JamesManCave thanks for the reply! Watching your channel from The Netherlands!
@@Gieperd1988 thanks, nice to know where people are watching from 👍👍
Would two lengths of 16’ deck do ? And what length of 2x4” ? TIA.
It all depends on what size and height you want yours, I'm 6ft tall, so built mine to 1050mm tall as that felt a comfortable height to me. So that's probably around 12meters of 2x4s that I used
James' Man Cave thanks man. Might get to it this weekend lol.
@@jaycarpenter7078 your previous comment 9 months ago said the same thing 😂😂
James' Man Cave eh , yeah ..... I’ve been busy 😂😂😂. Been renovating a house for three years , what’s on her list is more important than what’s on my list 🤨. Apparently
A BBQ is a must though! Best of luck with the renovation 👍
09:47 this gut does not drink much...............he spills most of it...........ba boom tish
Its going to be a real bitch to clean the table top when you spill you beer, or whatever. I believe I've ever seen a corrugated table top for food prep and cooking. Good Luck
Well as of yet I'm yet to drop/spill anything on it. But if I did I would leave it to dry in and then sand it out. I did coat it with some decking oil, which has helped it from the elements this far
