Do-It-Yourself PBC Dolly
« Reply #-1 on: February 05, 2013, 11:21:03 PM »
After seeing the dolly that Sparky uses with his PBC, I decided that I needed one, too.  Mine was going to have to be home-grown since I don’t have access to someone who does metal work.  I just happen to have a set of four caster’s (I knew I would be use them some day), with two that lock.  Perfect parts for building a PBC dolly.  Next I needed a platform to mount them on.  I had to buy some plywood.  I also needed some mounting hardware for the casters.  Other than that, I had all the necessary pieces parts to build a dolly.  From here on will be a silent film.



















I think it will work okay for me.  It has plenty of air underneath the PBC, so I don’t think I will have a heat issue with the wood.  Only time will tell.  I hope this gives you do-it-yourselfers some incentive to give your PBC a new ride.

The horseshoes on the stand don't get nearly hot enough to burn wood, that's the whole point of the stand.

The first time I use the cart will be today, cooking some BBs.  The heat issue was part ofd the reason I cut a hole in the cart in the first place, to make sure I had good air flow around the bottom.  I plan to check to see if I need to make Mod 1 to it, a metal heat shield.  Hope I don't.

Please note that I said "the horseshoes". The bottom of the drum is a different story.

Cool looking dolly. Looking at Devo's pics I sure hope that the hole you made in the dolly will help.

I used a drum dolly when I had my BDS and that worked fine.

Did you have the PBC on the stand when your deck got burned or was it flat on the deck when that happened Smokin-D??

Perhaps you did not look very closely at the pictures on page one. Yes the stand that comes with it was used. Using this thing on a wooden deck is dumb enough but to use it with out the stand even I am not that stupid.  Close but not that dumb.
The bottom of that barrel must've been super hot to do that with all the snow there. Darn good thing it wasn't any worse than what it was.
