I have been searching for a decent method to store all of my BBQ equipment in one area. Until now, the utensils were in a couple of different places, including with the grill. Wood chips and probes were in a cabinet. Seasonings were in the kitchen. Charcoal and fire equipment were in a couple of places. Tools for fire tending, etc also were in other places.
I am not sure what others have done over the years. I wanted something I could have in one place so if I was working outside, I could roll it out. If we wanted to grill out with the family at a park, it would be easy transport. I knew a tool box would be a good option, but with charcoal, I wanted something waterproof and deep enough to hold enough at one time. I also wanted something that could keep a ready supply of my favorite seasonings .
Needless to say, it has been difficult to find what I was looking for (to the point, I was thinking of designing something). I might still, but I found something that will work out. I only got part of it , but next pay will see the other portion.
Bottom Portion - Rolling cart. It is sturdy, well made and appears to be able to take some abuse.

What I like best is the fact that it is water and dust proof. It features a rubber seal in the lid that seals it up.
Not sure it would work for others and if you have anything to recommend as essential items to include, let me know.
