@@SmokinwithKasket I just love your cart haha - watched it years ago for my Weber smokey Joe table inspiration and again recently now that we've upgraded to a 22" so it was funny to see the update still wasn't there 😆 I love this video regardless of a continuation or not, but sure would love to hear an update of ups and downs, anything you'd change after years of usage ☺️❤️
My dad if Ted me a 22" Weber Kettle and came across your video - you're a king, sir...I'm not very good with wood or tools, but I know a guy who watched your video and said he could do it with the help of his dad...appreciate you doing this video 🤘🏼
Hi William - I've had my custom Grill Station for 2 weeks now and the only problem I have is where to hang the lid...at the very end of your video you mentioned a wooden bracket - did you ever install it or find a different solution? I'm thinking of getting one of those 30" Circular Plant Stakes, stake it into the grass next to the Grill Station and hang the lid on it, but there has to be a better solution - your help is appreciated 👍🏼
Omg!!! This has to be the most honorable compliment I’ve ever received! I’m just a DIY’er having learned a lot from my dad growing up. He was a bricklayer BTW. I’ve never thought of myself on any type of level like that. Just always been OCD about everything I do. Thank you for watching and commenting. You have made my day!!
Inkredable One - Wow!!! Your too kind. Thank you for the awesome comment and watching my video. You will be very happy with your drum smoker! It’s an awesome cooker. Happy Smokin’ My Friend!!
I like your design & build - the suggestions I would make are: (1) possibly use pneumatic tires, that way this can go across the lawn a little easier, or even load onto a trailer heading to a tailgate during college football season! (2) consider making the shelf removable, to give more flexibility of the enclosed storage place (great place to stash the cooler with the *premium* brews!! (3) add some additional piping, much like the cart handle, for towels to hang from, and maybe add S hooks so utensils can hang as well - keeps the top free for important things... like brats!! Happy times with this unit! Looks great!!
Oh WOW!!! Those are awesome ideas. Thank you for that. I did plan on adding a towel bar or two. The tire idea and cooler idea are fantastic. Thanks. I appreciate your support.
@@mrow7598 I was thinking sort of the same thing. I would add a piece of sheet aluminum on the bottom under the grill. Just in case of hot coals falling. Which they do from time to time and grease that WILL drip through the grill. You can find sheet aluminum at your local newspaper or publishing printing operation. They call them plates. Put the print side down or get the comic section and put the print side up!
Really enjoyed putting this together. I might suggest using 1x6 boards on the top shelf to remove some weight. Looks great and works great and I've gotten a few compliments to boot.
Take the edges off the front legs to keep them from splitting. Erase all pencil marks. Get some good outdoor poly to finish it with. Call it good! Personally I love the look of pine. And also love your idea of the hook for the lid :) really cool project! I just bought this grill and was telling my wife I NEED to build a cart like this lol
Thank you kind sir! Sorry for the delay in responding. I’ve installed casters on the front legs. Works great now - no lifting! Stay subscribed so you’ll catch the finish video coming soon. Stay safe and healthy.
Now you are my type of builder...using a Walmart drill, claps from Harbor Freight and borrowing tools from a neighbor. I fell like I could complete this project how you built it. I am only missing that neighbor part but I will figure it out. Also I think I might consider adjusting the top to drop in a cutting board. It would have to be removable so it could be cleaned but it would be great to have a surface to cut on and another reason to complete a different project. Thanks for sharing. I guess I will have to subscribe now too. 😉
Thank you Rabid Fan!!!! I laughed so hard after reading your post. I didn't realize it but you're right!!! The cutting board idea is a great one!!! I will end up putting some type of oversized cutting board on this one as well. Appreciate your subscription. I will have some cool videos coming this way soon. Been a long winter and I'm trying to get back on my feet with vids. Happy Smokin' my friend!!!
@Cobb Knobbler I'm not an actor, but I do the rest of it. Agreed, men should be able to do this project without a problem. I think he did a great job.!! But I don't think it's elaborate. It's a simple and very useable design to be proud of. I can almost smell the steaks grillin. ☺️
Nice build. Thanks for taking the time to share. One suggestion I have would be placing the wheels on the opposite side of the grill and obviously the same for the handle. That weber is a very lightweight grill and you already have much more weight in wood alone on the other side. It makes more sense to have your heavy side over the wheels for an easier time transporting the cart. That might require a new locking system for the doors to make sure contents don't push the doors open while in tow. Otherwise, great design. I may do something similar but with a conduit frame for my PK grill.
Start with something smaller. I made a ladder plant stand as my first woodworking project and it became such a fun hobby. 1. From smaller projects I have half the tools, just need a few more for this one. 2. It's go at your own pace that's the beauty. Perfect when you need solitude. 3. Talent comes from repetition and you haven't repeated anything like this, but if you do you'll have it.
@@SmokinwithKasket Excellent video. My wife insisted we get a kettle grill about that size (although a much less expensive one, I suspect), and she love to use it. Unfortunately, until I get the cover on the back deck, we don't use it very often. Okay, I loved the video, all your ideas are really cool. My only suggestion would be, when doing the shelf, only put one board in at a time, makes it easier to reach the back ones. Of course, on the downside, you won't have the front ones to rest on. I'm lazy, I would have used a lot more plywood than you did! Blessings, brother!
Thank you for watching and supporting. Please keep us updated with your progress. This is a fun project!!! I have the finished video coming soon. Sneak peek...I installed casters on the handle side as it was becoming too heavy to pick up. Works very well. Bought the heavy duty casters at Harbor Freight. Please subscribe if you haven’t already and watch for the upcoming video. Stay safe!!!!!
WOW!!! That's an amazing compliment. Thank you!!! No engineering background- I'm actually a death investigator of 32 years for a large metropolitan area. I've been told I sound like the late, great John Candy, but I don't hear it - LOL!!! Thank you for watching and giving me your support. P.S. Loved Tim, the Tool Man, Taylor!!!
Nice project. I love how you made it. surprising how snug the kettle holds with no bolts. That many ground brackets all the way around help form a binding setup. Great job. Enjoyed watching.
Thank you Phil. Appreciate that. Can’t wait to get it stained and start using it. I thought I was going to have to secure the kettle to the cart by making a bracket for the handles. But it really is tight and secure. You’re right- the brackets form a binding setup.
Hey there. Norway - awesome!!! Thank you for watching and commenting and hopefully subscribing. I plan to have the completed video on the final project this spring. Thank you again fir your support. Would LOVE to visit Norway some day! Stay safe.
Great video very detailed and informative. Got a question. How is the cart holding up with the heat of the grill? Also how's the wood holding up with the elements?
Glad this video was helpful. At least you may get an idea or two and use it on yours. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated. Let us know what you did. Happy Smokin’!!!!
You’ve inspired me, next trip to my timber merchant I’m going to purchase the wood necessary and replicate your doors, wheels, handles, push bar etc. Nice relaxed, clear and straightforward narrative for the build explanation too. Thanks!
Great to hear. Have fun and take your time. Be sure everything is square from the beginning. Appreciate your support and positive comments. Happy Smokin'!!!
Love the project mate. I'm doing my best to try build one like it but here in Australia we use millimetres not inches so it's making my brain hurt a little. Our 2×4 equivalent is 35×90. I've decided to put my wheels on the end with the cabinet as I assume that'll be the heavy end when it's full of charcoal and smoking chips. Great work mate, love it.
Thank you!!! Appreciate your kind words of support. Its very interesting hearing how other places in the world accomplish things. You can simply adjust your measurements to your preference. They don't have to be exact.
For sure i am going to ask my brother (he is a carpenter) to make this for me... Thank u for the video sir.... Appreciate it so much.... All the best for u
This video was very helpful.It gave me some ideas and your right the handles are very cool. I got some kitchen counter top laminate laying around I'll use it for the top. Thanks for taking the time to video your project.
Thank you for watching. I’m glad this video was helpful and gave you some ideas. Using a laminate is an excellent way to go. Stay safe and healthy my friend.
Love the project. Reminds me of working with my kids when they were young. Now I can involve the grandkids. I may do this and put the wheels on the cabinet end so I won’t be lifting all that weight, just the kettle. Good stuff! Thanks for the content.
Roy Johnson - Yes. You definitely need to do this. You don’t have to get to deep with the addition of the cupboard (but it’s nice to have the storage). Keep it simple to start out with. I added casters to the front so there’s no lifting. Much better. I’ll have the finished video with a few more additions and the completed stained cart very soon. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. Let us know how your project turned out when you’re done. Thanks again. Stay safe and healthy!!!!
My apologies that I haven’t been able to do the finish video on this cart. It is coming soon as soon as the weather breaks here in Southeast Michigan I will have a awesome video showing the final product and some of the changes I made including casters on the front instead of having to lift it up to move it.
Thank you for the comment. Appreciate your support and watching my videos. Be sure to subscribe so you will get notifications when I post new vids. I have the finish video on this cart coming soon. Stay safe!!!
William Kasper , thanks for your reply, I wasn’t expecting one.... I suspect that people like yourself that take the time to show and teach us newbies are pretty busy doing videos on top of your day to day and in addition to the crappy Covid 19 virus, so I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond! I have subscribed and I will watch your vids with interest. Stay safe as well.
@Jean Despatie Thank you for your comment!!! Your very kind. I try to respond to everyone; I'm thankful for ALL my viewers and subscribers!!! I am definitely very busy - I'm a front line worker dealing with death in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic (I'm a death investigator at one of the busiest Medical Examiner Offices in the country). I wish I could release more videos than I do but I plan to work on uploading more content as soon as I can. Thank you so much for subscribing. MUCH APPRECIATED!!! Stay safe and healthy!!!
Hey Michael - Glad have you here visiting my channel. This was an easy project with minimal tools. I'm anxious to start publishing some great grilling recipes on the Weber Kettle. I need to get the unit stained and completed. If you have any questions or need assistance with the project, please don't hesitate to send me a comment. Happy Smokin' my friend!!!
The finished video is in the works. Thank you for being patient. I’m stuck as a front line worker during this COVID ordeal. Exhausting hours. I will have it finished. Thank you for your support. Stay safe.
Thank you. I’ll have Part II staining and finish coming after the holidays. Thanks for watching. Subscribe and hit the bell so you’ll get the notification.
RV Monster - Thank you for your kind words and support. Appreciate you watching. Hope this video was helpful. The finish video is in the works. Stay safe and healthy.
Fantastic job! Looks great! Top shelf all the way around.... you will make some great food with that bad boy.... thanks for showing us how you did it.. Ok, now let's do some ribs!!!
Thank you for the comment and supporting. Please subscribe if you haven’t already I have more videos coming with regards to the barbecue cart including the staining process. Stay safe and healthy!!!
Looks great. Will be doing similar, but may go with the cabinets in the front instead of side. My additions will probably include a meat probe holder and a utensil holder/hooks.
Hi Victor - Thank you for the support and kind words. This was a fun project; I hope you were able to get some ideas from it. Let us know how your project turned out.
Thank you for the for providing all the measurements and the dimensions for the cart. Nice woodworking skills and the craftsmanship on that BBQ cart is excellent .
Hi Kenny. Appreciate your wonderful comments. Hope this video was helpful for you and everyone elase looking to take on a project like this. Happy Smokin'!!!
Thank you for guidance on building this cart. I duplicated and stained it walnut and put a couple coats of poly on it. It looks amazing. I found the door handles on Amazon. I did put removable shelves in and drilled two small holes near the kettle to stick my thermometer probes into. I do have one suggestion...the cart is a BEAST! LOL. I'm going to put my pull bar on the other end and move the wheels to the cabinet end. At 64...the cabinet feels like I'm lifting a fridge while the kettle end is much lighter. Everyone loves the cart so thank you for posting! Ed
Glad to hear this video was helpful. I ended up putting casters on the opposite end. It truly is a beast!!! I will have the completed cart video this spring when the cold weather breaks. Happy Smokin'!!!
Awesome project you hit a home run. The only thing I would add are some hooks for utensils and a paper towel rack. Please post the final result with the stain applied
Wow! Just ran into this video and was blown away by the incredible innovation. I just bought a 26" Weber Kettle and would love to build something alike. My carpenter skills are not good at all. I would have to find someone that would be up to the challenge. I would definitely buy one of these if they were sold in stores! LOL! Excellent job and very entertaining video!
Thank you for the awesome comment. Glad you liked this video. Thank you fir watching snd hopefully you’ll build one for yourself. Start out with the simple framing and keep adding on. Not too complicated. Stay safe and healthy my friend.
Hey, this gave me an idea to have a go at one for a pizza oven, must have had some influence because I never build anything but the frame turned out a lot like this one. I don't have a lot of tools, but this build was pretty easy even for a novice like me. Measure, pencil, some sort of saw, drill, driver and speed square and it was pretty simple. Thanks
Nice project. Well done video. Norm Abram would be impressed! Thanks for sharing the measurements and the extra helpful tips along the way. I would agree with others that pneumatic tires would be preferable as this cart has to weigh a ton. Thank you!!
WOW!!!! What an amazing compliment saying that Norm Abrams would be impressed. I'm very great-full for your support and kindness. I may end up switching to pneumatic tires. I'm planning on adding casters to the front as well. Your right, this cart has gained a lot of weight!!! Thanks again. All the Best-
I love this I have an old Gas Grill that the flimsy metal frame has rotten (I live in the uk and it rains 90% of the year) so I will take the idea from what you made here and adapt it thanks for the idea buddy brilliant yet simple build keep it up 👍
Great to hear you could use these ideas. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please subscribe so you will get notifications for upcoming videos. I will have the finish stain video soon. All the Best.
Thank you for watching and commenting. This is a easy and fun project and you can make it as elaborate as you wish. There is a cover that fits it I found one at Lowe’s. It’s a collegiate cover. As soon as I can find the model number I’ll post that. Thank you for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t already. I will have the finishing video coming soon. Stay safe and healthy.
Nice and complete instructions. Thank you very much. I plan to use these ideas to make a cart for my 26" Weber and use the storage for all my aftermarket removable parts. I also plan to use plans for a small bar or counter. Good job! Thanks
Thank you so much for watching. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. So glad to hear this video was helpful and inspiring. Let us know how your project turned out. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Happy Smokin’!!!
Great Job sir and great video. I hate the videos that play music only and keep speeding things up. You keep it real. And nice editing, I worked in the broadcast business for 30 years and you did better than some guys that I trained. Over all...very nice. I think I'll make this one..after I buy the Weber. lol..Best regards.
Great build and video. Thank you for sharing your talent and craftsmanship. I would be interested in knowing how you built the bracket to hold the kettle lid on the end of the cart. Thanks!
I'd like to thank you because I've in my mind to build something similar but haven't find yet the right way, until I saw your video, really inspiring. Thanks for sharing your work
Thank you. Hope you’ll get some ideas from this video that you can implement into your project. This was a fun and easy project. Keep us posted on your outcome. Happy Smokin’!!!
Well Done! Thank You for taking the time to film this and explain the step by step process in simple terms. This Weber grill has character now and a usable work area. Enjoy.
Thank you for watching and I hope the video will be helpful for you. Let us know how your project turned out when you’re finished. Again thank you for watching commenting and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe and healthy and have a great day!
Looks like a really nice project. Very solid and very functional. The only thing I would add would be to make your shelf a pull out. It's not too deep as is so it would only be of you had to access something in the back of the cabinet. An added one by board with a 1/16th clearance in top would do it. Just make the shelf solid and unscrewed from the frame of the cabinet. A couple of swivel wheels with locks in the other end and it's also mobile without lifting one end. I recently got server Performer. The shelf space is nice but this would be even better. I agree with the lid hanger. That would be a be addition
Nice work. I really like the idea of putting the wheels on the frame of the cart. That way I can make the cart at a height I am comfortable with. The beveling of the brackets to hold the kettle in place looks to be a great design feature. I do not have a grinder, but maybe Hardware Hank can do that for me if I buy the hardware from him :-). Putting a hook or holder on the edge of the cart for the cover is a terrific idea. The hook on the inside of a Weber Kettle works, but is a little small to be used effectively. Thanks for a great "How to" video. It is easier watch a video, than to look and study a "How to" written document. Looking forward to the staining of this project and the BOM (bill of materials). You did not demonstrate how to show the project is finished by testing out the bottle opener. :-)
Hi john - Thank you for the compliments. You could use a metal file on the brackets if you have one laying around. Hope this video was helpful. Thank you for the support!!! I dropped the ball on demonstrating the bottle opener! LMAO!!! I will do that in Part II - staining and finishing, coming soon. All the Best- Wm. Kasper (Smokin' with Kasket).
I experimented with the handles and honestly, the girl was not very stable resting on two handles. Excellent question though! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Just bought the same grill and now you gave me inspiration to do the same thing. Absolutely amazing video. Big gigantic thumbs up. Can't wait to see the finished project after staining. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ken. Appreciate your support and kind words. Let us know how yours turned out with the ideas you got here. Definitely a fun project. The finish / stain video is coming soon. Thanks for watching!!! Happy Smokin'!
Thank you for the great comment. Now you must go build one! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t already. Watch for the finished video coming soon. Stay safe and healthy!
I'm glad I came across your video. I love the design and the build appears very simple and straightforward. I'm going to build one myself. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Mr. William Kasper. Very professionnel work you show at all of us how to build this BBQ Cart. Thank you and 1 K Bravo. 2020 06 20 Saint-Joseph de Mékinac, Trois-Rives, Québec et Labrador.
To be honest I liked your idea very much, I won’t be adding the grill, instead I’ll be doing granite countertop. I’ll be doing this to surprise my good friend on his bday, he’s always struggling when he bbqs. Keep up the good work 👍🏽💯
Awesome!!! Plan on the unit to be very heavy. I added casters as you will see when I release the final video. Thanks for subscribing. Stay safe and healthy!!!
Josef - Thank you so much for watching. Actually updates are being filmed and the final version with the completed cart are coming in May. I’m waiting for the weather to warm enough to complete the staining and finishing. Also I found an awesome idea for the table top. All coming soon. Thank you for your input and support. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. All the Best-
Great to hear Eber. I hope this video helped. Just a simple frame with a top does wonders when having the grill next to your work surface. No need to get elaborate with a cabinet but, it helps to have a place to store BBQ tools and equipment. Happy Smokin'
Watching your set up is motivating me to create my own cart.I have a weber q1000 and planning on buying a blackstone griddle..I would like to create a station for both. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hey - Great to hear!!! Do you plan on making two separate carts or one to hold both of them? Thanks for watching. I’m going to publish Part II on the finishing of the cart as soon as the weather breaks and we get some warmth. Be sure to subscribe so you’ll get the notifications. Thanks again.
Really good easy to follow video,. i have the wood working ability of your average 5 year old. but still managed to have a good attempt at it, just trying to work out the doors, thanks again
Build your own UDS. Easy and fun! Watch here: th-cam.com/video/aIden_pLMzg/w-d-xo.html

I know it's a few yrs old, but still a good one.. gAnd cool to see those old engines..
Cheers from Norway!
Hey there. Norway - awesome!!! Thank you for watching and commenting and hopefully subscribing. I plan to have the completed video on the final project this spring. Thank you again fir your support. Would LOVE to visit Norway some day! Stay safe.
Great video very detailed and informative. Got a question. How is the cart holding up with the heat of the grill? Also how's the wood holding up with the elements?
If all you do is wear steaks, go with metal, low temp stuff or two short steak sears are fine. Aluminum flashing might help.
Excellent. Bravo. I am inspired. Not a lot of complex joinery, just good ol' 2x4s and drywall screws.
Paul Fiorino -Yes. Keep it simple and doable for all. Fun project. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Great video! I've been wanting to make a side table for my Weber and I love this design, thank you!
Glad this video was helpful. At least you may get an idea or two and use it on yours. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated. Let us know what you did. Happy Smokin’!!!!
You’ve inspired me, next trip to my timber merchant I’m going to purchase the wood necessary and replicate your doors, wheels, handles, push bar etc.
Nice relaxed, clear and straightforward narrative for the build explanation too.
Thanks!
Great to hear. Have fun and take your time. Be sure everything is square from the beginning. Appreciate your support and positive comments. Happy Smokin'!!!
Love the project mate. I'm doing my best to try build one like it but here in Australia we use millimetres not inches so it's making my brain hurt a little.
Our 2×4 equivalent is 35×90. I've decided to put my wheels on the end with the cabinet as I assume that'll be the heavy end when it's full of charcoal and smoking chips. Great work mate, love it.
Thank you!!! Appreciate your kind words of support. Its very interesting hearing how other places in the world accomplish things. You can simply adjust your measurements to your preference. They don't have to be exact.
For sure i am going to ask my brother (he is a carpenter) to make this for me... Thank u for the video sir.... Appreciate it so much.... All the best for u
Thank you for watching. Please subscribe so you will see the finished video coming soon. Best-
Cool man! Can’t wait for the restoration projects coming up!
Thank you my friend.
This video was very helpful.It gave me some ideas and your right the handles are very cool. I got some kitchen counter top laminate laying around I'll use it for the top. Thanks for taking the time to video your project.
Thank you for watching. I’m glad this video was helpful and gave you some ideas. Using a laminate is an excellent way to go. Stay safe and healthy my friend.
The amount of materials 2.4,2.6,1.2 how many of each
Love the project. Reminds me of working with my kids when they were young. Now I can involve the grandkids. I may do this and put the wheels on the cabinet end so I won’t be lifting all that weight, just the kettle. Good stuff! Thanks for the content.
I put casters on the opposite end. No lifting now. I’ll have the finished video coming soon. Thank you for watching. Stay safe.
Nice little cart there for a Kettle grill. Definitely going to give this one a whirl myself.
Fun project. Thanks for watching.
@@SmokinwithKasket I've been thinking about this to build for my new weber, good job and thanks
Roy Johnson - Yes. You definitely need to do this. You don’t have to get to deep with the addition of the cupboard (but it’s nice to have the storage). Keep it simple to start out with. I added casters to the front so there’s no lifting. Much better. I’ll have the finished video with a few more additions and the completed stained cart very soon. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. Let us know how your project turned out when you’re done. Thanks again. Stay safe and healthy!!!!
I'd love an update video to see how it's held up, any changes you'd wish you made, etc..
My apologies that I haven’t been able to do the finish video on this cart. It is coming soon as soon as the weather breaks here in Southeast Michigan I will have a awesome video showing the final product and some of the changes I made including casters on the front instead of having to lift it up to move it.
Hey there fellow Detroiter, it's already June 2019 and I'd love to see this beautiful cart all stained!
Hi there neighbor. I hear you loud and clear. I’ll have the final video up very soon. Been a busy spring.
Very nice project, loved your detailed instructions, thanks for sharing, I’ll copy your design for sure!
Thank you for the comment. Appreciate your support and watching my videos. Be sure to subscribe so you will get notifications when I post new vids. I have the finish video on this cart coming soon. Stay safe!!!
William Kasper , thanks for your reply, I wasn’t expecting one.... I suspect that people like yourself that take the time to show and teach us newbies are pretty busy doing videos on top of your day to day and in addition to the crappy Covid 19 virus, so I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond! I have subscribed and I will watch your vids with interest. Stay safe as well.
@Jean Despatie Thank you for your comment!!! Your very kind. I try to respond to everyone; I'm thankful for ALL my viewers and subscribers!!! I am definitely very busy - I'm a front line worker dealing with death in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic (I'm a death investigator at one of the busiest Medical Examiner Offices in the country). I wish I could release more videos than I do but I plan to work on uploading more content as soon as I can. Thank you so much for subscribing. MUCH APPRECIATED!!! Stay safe and healthy!!!
Did you ever stain it yet? I've been waiting to see the finished result. I just cut the 2x4's for the frame. this weekend im putting mine together.
Coming soon. Thanks for your patience.
@@SmokinwithKasket do ypu have Facebook or instagram?
No Facebook. I do have Instagram: instagram.com/smokinwithkasket/
@@SmokinwithKasket great, thanks! What did you put under the kettle for the hot ash. I notice people use pavers or steel etc.
This model Weber has an ash pan underneath which is an excellent accessory for this application on a wooden barbecue cart.
Nicely done cart! nice to see a son helping out !
Thank you. Yes, my son loves working with tools. He learned a lot while doing this project.
Great idea……...another project for my "things to build" list!!!!!!
Take a step at a time. Fun project for sure!
Awesome cart bro! My Weber Kettle has a plastic table built on already but you got me wanting to build something like this
Hey Michael - Glad have you here visiting my channel. This was an easy project with minimal tools. I'm anxious to start publishing some great grilling recipes on the Weber Kettle. I need to get the unit stained and completed. If you have any questions or need assistance with the project, please don't hesitate to send me a comment. Happy Smokin' my friend!!!
That looks great! Hey are you going to put a finish on it? I would love to see how it looks after that.
The finish video will be out very soon. Thank you for watching and support!!! All the Best-
Im still waiting for the finish.. Please share the video thank u sir....
The finished video is in the works. Thank you for being patient. I’m stuck as a front line worker during this COVID ordeal. Exhausting hours. I will have it finished. Thank you for your support. Stay safe.
No- it’s alive and well waiting on me. Stay safe.
@@SmokinwithKasket stay safe too Mr william...
Nice project man, great job! Im going to use this as my base for my project. The handles match the bar on the side perfectly!
Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad this video was helpful. Let us know how yours turned out and what you did.
Looks really good! I'm sure its even better after you stained it. Thanks for posting.

Thats one bad ass cart man!
Inspired me to make one of my own!
Thank you. It’s an awesome project and very simple. You’ll enjoy it! Keep us posted on your progress. Thank you for watching. Stay safe and healthy.
Fantastic job! Looks great! Top shelf all the way around.... you will make some great food with that bad boy.... thanks for showing us how you did it..
Ok, now let's do some ribs!!!
Thank you for the comment and supporting. Please subscribe if you haven’t already I have more videos coming with regards to the barbecue cart including the staining process. Stay safe and healthy!!!
Looks great. Will be doing similar, but may go with the cabinets in the front instead of side.
My additions will probably include a meat probe holder and a utensil holder/hooks.
Excellent. You’ll love the project. Let us know how it went. Stay safe and healthy!!!
Fantastic! I made one very much like yours thanks to your video and direction. Love it, thanks!
Great to hear. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. Stay safe.
That is one awesome build!! I will be doing this in spring. Keep rolling those videos!
Hi Victor - Thank you for the support and kind words. This was a fun project; I hope you were able to get some ideas from it. Let us know how your project turned out.
Cool build mate, watching from New Zealand🤙
Thank you for watching and commenting. How awesome you’re viewing this from New Zealand. I would love to visit there one day!!! Stay safe my friend!!!
I like how you hung the kettle in the cart with the L brackets. Been looking for an idea to accomplish this. Nice job.
It really works great! The kettle is solid and doesn’t turn or flex at all. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank you for the for providing all the measurements and the dimensions for the cart. Nice woodworking skills and the craftsmanship on that BBQ cart is excellent .
Hi Kenny. Appreciate your wonderful comments. Hope this video was helpful for you and everyone elase looking to take on a project like this. Happy Smokin'!!!
Great video my friend. Great looking table.
Thank you. Appreciate your comment. Hope you’ll go build one now!!! All the Best-
Thank you for guidance on building this cart. I duplicated and stained it walnut and put a couple coats of poly on it. It looks amazing. I found the door handles on Amazon. I did put removable shelves in and drilled two small holes near the kettle to stick my thermometer probes into. I do have one suggestion...the cart is a BEAST! LOL. I'm going to put my pull bar on the other end and move the wheels to the cabinet end. At 64...the cabinet feels like I'm lifting a fridge while the kettle end is much lighter. Everyone loves the cart so thank you for posting!
Ed
Glad to hear this video was helpful. I ended up putting casters on the opposite end. It truly is a beast!!! I will have the completed cart video this spring when the cold weather breaks. Happy Smokin'!!!
Awesome project you hit a home run. The only thing I would add are some hooks for utensils and a paper towel rack. Please post the final result with the stain applied
Great job. Now I'm inspired to convert my Weber kettle.
Go for it. Thank you for watching and supporting.
Wow! Just ran into this video and was blown away by the incredible innovation. I just bought a 26" Weber Kettle and would love to build something alike. My carpenter skills are not good at all. I would have to find someone that would be up to the challenge. I would definitely buy one of these if they were sold in stores! LOL! Excellent job and very entertaining video!
Thank you for the awesome comment. Glad you liked this video. Thank you fir watching snd hopefully you’ll build one for yourself. Start out with the simple framing and keep adding on. Not too complicated. Stay safe and healthy my friend.
Hey, this gave me an idea to have a go at one for a pizza oven, must have had some influence because I never build anything but the frame turned out a lot like this one.
I don't have a lot of tools, but this build was pretty easy even for a novice like me. Measure, pencil, some sort of saw, drill, driver and speed square and it was pretty simple.
Thanks
Nice project. Well done video. Norm Abram would be impressed! Thanks for sharing the measurements and the extra helpful tips along the way. I would agree with others that pneumatic tires would be preferable as this cart has to weigh a ton. Thank you!!
WOW!!!! What an amazing compliment saying that Norm Abrams would be impressed. I'm very great-full for your support and kindness. I may end up switching to pneumatic tires. I'm planning on adding casters to the front as well. Your right, this cart has gained a lot of weight!!! Thanks again. All the Best-
I love this I have an old Gas Grill that the flimsy metal frame has rotten (I live in the uk and it rains 90% of the year) so I will take the idea from what you made here and adapt it thanks for the idea buddy brilliant yet simple build keep it up 👍
Great to hear you could use these ideas. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please subscribe so you will get notifications for upcoming videos. I will have the finish stain video soon. All the Best.
Was thinking about building a cart for my weber kettle. This is exactly what need. Thanks for sharing. Wondering if a BBQ cover would fit that cart.
Thank you for watching and commenting. This is a easy and fun project and you can make it as elaborate as you wish. There is a cover that fits it I found one at Lowe’s. It’s a collegiate cover. As soon as I can find the model number I’ll post that. Thank you for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t already. I will have the finishing video coming soon. Stay safe and healthy.
Started building mine today. Just got the frame done. Gonna finish the rest the next day I'm off.
Great. It’s a fun project for sure. Let us know how it turned out. Thanks for watching.
@@SmokinwithKasket how can I add a picture in to show how it turned out.
What a great video man. Can't thank you enough. I'm going to build one now for my kettle!
Nice and complete instructions. Thank you very much. I plan to use these ideas to make a cart for my 26" Weber and use the storage for all my aftermarket removable parts. I also plan to use plans for a small bar or counter. Good job! Thanks
Thank you so much for watching. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. So glad to hear this video was helpful and inspiring. Let us know how your project turned out. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Happy Smokin’!!!
Very nice. This is headed straight to the top of the to-do list. Love those door handles.
Thank you Keith. This was a fun project! Check Menards for those door handles.
Perfect cart for the kettle. Well done.
Thank you. Appreciate your support. Stay safe.
Great job, your instruction was great and easy to follow. Throw some black paint on those L brackets. Your good to go! cheers.
Awesome suggestion. Thank you for watching, sharing and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe!!! 😀
Great Job sir and great video. I hate the videos that play music only and keep speeding things up. You keep it real. And nice editing, I worked in the broadcast business for 30 years and you did better than some guys that I trained. Over all...very nice. I think I'll make this one..after I buy the Weber. lol..Best regards.
Awesome compliment. Thank you sooo much. Its my OCD I think - LOL.
Great build and video. Thank you for sharing your talent and craftsmanship. I would be interested in knowing how you built the bracket to hold the kettle lid on the end of the cart. Thanks!
I'd like to thank you because I've in my mind to build something similar but haven't find yet the right way, until I saw your video, really inspiring. Thanks for sharing your work
Thank you. Hope you’ll get some ideas from this video that you can implement into your project. This was a fun and easy project. Keep us posted on your outcome. Happy Smokin’!!!
Really nice job Sir!
Thank you. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe.
Well Done!
Thank You for taking the time to film this and explain the step by step process in simple terms. This Weber grill has character now and a usable work area. Enjoy.
Appreciate your kind support. Thank you.
Very nicely done, great video!!!
Thank you for watching and commenting. Appreciate the positive comment. Are you planning to build one?

Hallo. Da hast du ja ein tolles Teil gebaut. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland.👍👍👍👍
Danke für Ihre netten Worte. Gerne von Ihnen den ganzen Weg von Deutschland zu hören. Ich habe Ihren Kanal abonniert. Viel Spaß beim Smokin !!!
Awesome job, Thanks!! Can’t wait to get started.
Thank you for watching and I hope the video will be helpful for you. Let us know how your project turned out when you’re finished. Again thank you for watching commenting and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe and healthy and have a great day!
Looks like a really nice project. Very solid and very functional. The only thing I would add would be to make your shelf a pull out. It's not too deep as is so it would only be of you had to access something in the back of the cabinet. An added one by board with a 1/16th clearance in top would do it. Just make the shelf solid and unscrewed from the frame of the cabinet. A couple of swivel wheels with locks in the other end and it's also mobile without lifting one end. I recently got server Performer. The shelf space is nice but this would be even better. I agree with the lid hanger. That would be a be addition
Nice work. I really like the idea of putting the wheels on the frame of the cart. That way I can make the cart at a height I am comfortable with. The beveling of the brackets to hold the kettle in place looks to be a great design feature. I do not have a grinder, but maybe Hardware Hank can do that for me if I buy the hardware from him :-).
Putting a hook or holder on the edge of the cart for the cover is a terrific idea. The hook on the inside of a Weber Kettle works, but is a little small to be used effectively.
Thanks for a great "How to" video. It is easier watch a video, than to look and study a "How to" written document. Looking forward to the staining of this project and the BOM (bill of materials).
You did not demonstrate how to show the project is finished by testing out the bottle opener. :-)
Hi john - Thank you for the compliments. You could use a metal file on the brackets if you have one laying around. Hope this video was helpful. Thank you for the support!!! I dropped the ball on demonstrating the bottle opener! LMAO!!! I will do that in Part II - staining and finishing, coming soon. All the Best- Wm. Kasper (Smokin' with Kasket).
Great project. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit it. Subscribed!
Do you think the grill's handles can be used as support instead of the L brackets if I only want to go just past center and not completely surrounded.
I experimented with the handles and honestly, the girl was not very stable resting on two handles. Excellent question though! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Nice job...picked up some good ideas...thanks for the time and effort. Some good thought in that project.
Awesome to hear. Thanks for your interest and support. I'm glad to hear the video was helpful. Happy Smokin'
Just bought the same grill and now you gave me inspiration to do the same thing. Absolutely amazing video. Big gigantic thumbs up. Can't wait to see the finished project after staining. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ken. Appreciate your support and kind words. Let us know how yours turned out with the ideas you got here. Definitely a fun project. The finish / stain video is coming soon. Thanks for watching!!! Happy Smokin'!

Hi Mr. William Kasper. Very professionnel work you show at all of us how to build this BBQ Cart. Thank you and 1 K Bravo. 2020 06 20 Saint-Joseph de Mékinac, Trois-Rives, Québec et Labrador.
Thank you kindly. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Greetings to you and your family. Stay safe and healthy.
To be honest I liked your idea very much, I won’t be adding the grill, instead I’ll be doing granite countertop. I’ll be doing this to surprise my good friend on his bday, he’s always struggling when he bbqs. Keep up the good work 👍🏽💯
Awesome!!! Plan on the unit to be very heavy. I added casters as you will see when I release the final video. Thanks for subscribing. Stay safe and healthy!!!
This looks better than I was expecting and the simplicity of it is awesome.
Why no update on it?
Josef - Thank you so much for watching. Actually updates are being filmed and the final version with the completed cart are coming in May. I’m waiting for the weather to warm enough to complete the staining and finishing. Also I found an awesome idea for the table top. All coming soon. Thank you for your input and support. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. All the Best-
I've been looking to make one for my 22 for a while now, an yours is just right 👍. Thanks for the video.
Great to hear Eber. I hope this video helped. Just a simple frame with a top does wonders when having the grill next to your work surface. No need to get elaborate with a cabinet but, it helps to have a place to store BBQ tools and equipment. Happy Smokin'
Nice design, easy to follow, I made one for my kettle grill but I did make a few changes like front wheels, works good and it looks great! Thanks!
That’s great. Glad my video was helpful. Would be cool to see your finished project. Happy Smokin’ my friend!!!
i love the cart, the only thing i would add is locking caster so that it would be easer to move and and still have it to be stationary
Done!!! I added casters after the thing hit too heavy. I will show that in my upcoming finish video. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Watching your set up is motivating me to create my own cart.I have a weber q1000 and planning on buying a blackstone griddle..I would like to create a station for both.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Hey - Great to hear!!! Do you plan on making two separate carts or one to hold both of them? Thanks for watching. I’m going to publish Part II on the finishing of the cart as soon as the weather breaks and we get some warmth. Be sure to subscribe so you’ll get the notifications.
Thanks again.
I'd like to make a single cart with room for a propane tank with a splitter to fuel both..
I'll definitely subscribe to your channel. 👍
That sounds awesome. Let us know your progress when you get into the project. Thank you!!!
Really good easy to follow video,. i have the wood working ability of your average 5 year old. but still managed to have a good attempt at it, just trying to work out the doors, thanks again
Thank you for watching. Glad this was helpful. Take your time, measure twice and cut once. Let us know how yours turned out. Stay safe and healthy.
