BECAUSE IT'S ON! Yup, the 4th of July is upon us, and that means blowout party around here. I wanted to add a few things to the Iron Maiden that I have never gotten around to during the initial build.
These two things will aid me greatly in cooking massive quantities of BBQ.
I design criteria that I incorporated into the shelves was to be as low profile as possible, to pull out without coming out or tipping, and also be completely removable. Here's how I did mine.
I mounted angle iron for shelf brackets. At the rear of the brackets I cut out a profile that would receive a tab from the shelf.
On each side of the shelf I mounted a tab made from angle iron that would captivate the shelf into the shelf bracket.
Here it is grabbing the shelf bracket as the shelf is slid out.
At the front of the shelf bracket I welded a hard stop on each side so you can't pull the shelf out the front.
Here it is with all the shelves extended...I just need to clean everything up and tack the expanded metal on the shelf frames.
I also added a drop down step that folds up for travel.
Because it's on...hell yeah, our independence day party is definitely gonna be awesome.
I'll try and take lots of Pics this year and let everyone know how it played out.
