Step 16: Car Jacks and a steel drum?

They are cheap lol pleantiful and I get to do a little recycling lol
Two car scissor jacks and one clean used 55 gal drum.
Some flat thin metal welded to the top and bottom of the jacks for more stabilty. The drum cut to size with a sawsall for fire baskets.
I raise and lower my fire baskets as needed. Has been real usefull.

cojonc iv been reading your harassing comments for the past few slides and you seriously do not know what the car jack is or that he is using the hand-held drill to raise the car jack???? and on the car jack is a bottom or top 1/3 of the 55 gal drum cut and used to hold the charcoal. he is raising the 1/3 drum piece to move the heat closer to the grill.....think about it dude.

You put "lol" in a lot of places. I'm confused. Does that mean anything or is it just a leftover from incorrect XHTML or something on that order. I think I have seen it before and it's always the same. By the way, great job and that's a super grill. Instead of a hand held drill why permanently install and wire up a small inexpensive 120 V motor to raise and lower that ... whatever it is. Why do you need to raise and lower that something, and what does it do?

Those fire baskets hold the wood/charcoal and he made it adjustable to change how close the heat and flames would be to the grilling racks. The motor idea is good, but he probably does not need to adjust them very often since the sliding grilling racks at different heights. Plus, it will get very hot down there and having a permanent motor and wiring could be bad for the equipment.

lol is an accronym for "Laughing Out Loud".

And in this context is devoid of meaning.
