BBQ lid update March 2016

After many barbecues, we have finally made and installed the handle.
It's made out of a 1"by 1 1/2" piece of wood cut to length and screwed together as well as to the lid. Simple but effective!

You can see from the photos below that rust has covered the barbecue in the hottest areas over this second winter.


Ideally we would trim the grills so they fit inside the barbecue, but we will not do it to those grills because it will be complicated to solder them back together once trimmed. Also the metal mesh supporting the charcoal away from the bottom of the barbecue is still not strong enough and needs replacing with something sturdier.

Hope you enjoyed the build!
