Hotdog/Sausage/Asparagus Guard Rail..

[zapster]

Ever get annoyed when your food rolls off the grille when your not looking?

I do..
So I made a Guard Rail for the grille..
1/8" X 1 1/2" X 15" round 6061..

Grille..


Guard Rail..


3 Tabs evenly spaced..


And as an extra added bonus I get 1 1/2" extra height for the lid..



No more picking up stuff that rolls off anymore..

I get all the fun jobs..

...zap!

Not exactly..
The grille came from Northern Equipment OR Harbor Freight..
I can't remember..

But it is an 15" aluminum rim...
I made the base and now the rail..
I've had the grille for about 5 years now..
I don't remember seeing them in the 8000 catalogs I still get from both places..

...zap!

You don't need no stinking guard rail! God made dirt, dirt don't hurt!

I was concerned that this will put countless asparagus spears and smokies at risk......bad joke j/k.

A Harbor Freight grill is ok just don't get your consumables for it there.

Kewel man,

Where there is a will, there is a way.

I like it.

There ya go, put 'er back on the grill. I always slip it on someone elses plate anyway.

Hope you got enough weld to hold that little clip in place.

[mb_welder]

right on! It pretty much nullifies the 5 second rule around the BBQ!

[smithboy]

I am with Micro and Sandy...The fire clenses all...besides, dirt adds flavor AND texture. However, I do like the tire rim grille...I wished i'd thought of that when I recycled my TRX rims...

We don't need it coming apart during a hi-speed "Rollover"..
