Tom Sawyer ain't got nothin on me!
« Reply #-1 on: February 28, 2016, 12:11:05 PM »
Needed a charcoal ring & was going to buy a WSM replacement part.
Weber parts are usually reasonable but the ring was $50  ???
Well I can make a basket from expanded metal only spent 2 hours in the ER last time ::)
We were going to LostArrow for the years first crawfish boil so I called Butch asked him to bring his sawzall & Jimbo to bring his grinder.
Yes those are their names its Mississippi!
Get down there & after we had a couple beverages I marked the cuts & Butch made the cuts & Jimbo ground off the sharp edges.
They made the bends & all I had to do was use bailing wire to attach.
Made a 13 in X 4 in high ring for my homemade 30 gal drum smoker with hanging rods.
Made  rectangular 10 in X 10 in with 5 in high sides with the leftover & best of all didn't slice my leg open again

It's always good to hear that there was no ER component as part of this build.  No "war" stories, either.  Now, I'll echo BD's comment, where are the mud bugs?

Good job on the parts.
Good job on not cutting your leg open!
Good job on craw daddy's.

I like your serving tray. Did you make it or buy it? And I'm sure glad it's that time of year again....

Didn't notice the names till you mentioned it but then again I am only one state over and My son in law is Bubba.

The trays are molded plastic & will attach to either a large garbage can for sitting or a 55 gal. Barrel for standing.
Don't know where they came from , Jimbo showed up with two 3-4 years ago & just collected $10 from everyone there.
Said he paid $35 each

Never ceases to amaze me what you can get people to help with when they know the prize at the end is an awesome meal.

Love the trays
