Hi all from Lake Tapps in Washington State!
This June I bought an Ultimate 23" after my 12 year-old POS Richard Johnson K7 literally fell apart and had a frozen top cap. After using a Home Depot beige plastic deck box to store my charcoal and accesories, I decided to upgrade that along with my KK as shown below. The work table/cabinet is this: https://www.hotelrestaurantsupply.com/WNH-STCT-BBD3060M.html. 100% 16 gauge 304 series stainless steel construction.
It gives me space to store everything: charcoal, grates, tools, extra split basket, stone, heat deflector, MAP torch, gloves, BBQGuru, power cord, and more, while getting an all weather work surface that will be mildew-proof.
I used garage floor tiling to protect the TimberTech deck from burns and grease spills.
I love this grill so much more that the old K7! Have already done briskets, pork shoulders, ribs, steaks, rack of lamb, pork tenderloin kebabs, burgers, chicken, tuna, salmon, and much more.
BTW, the little Weber is our camping grill and the wife likes to use it when she needs to grill something quickly.
Cheers!
Peter Pawlak
