ak43 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 How does everyone store all of the accessories that come with a KK? I saw a couple of pics with what looked like custom cabinets, but wanted to get a sense of how other owner's are managing all of the associated gear. lower sear grill upper grill heat deflector & trays Rotisserie BBQ Guru Tools & lifters charcoal weed burner rubs ash cleaning tools etc. I have put them into a plastic tote but that seems like bad form for the craftsmanship that went into the accessories? I think it would be great if there was a custom teak cabinet made by Dennis to hold the accessories specifically. Any ideas?
mguerra Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 custom job There's a guy who makes a stainless cabinet and said he would customize it to fit our 23" grills and so on. I'll post tomorrow.
Firemonkey Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 I keep my lump in trash can around the corner on the side of the patio. I dont dump the lump in the can, i just put the whole bag in there - easier and cleaner to dispense. There is enough room for two 10 pound pags of lump, and a basket or so of KKEC, and it stays perfectly dry through all the humidity and rain here in FL, too. The extra grates hang next to the grills, on a 7-8 inch pole (like you find on a pier) that I installed for this purpose, and it doubles as another position to hang my hammock. (This pole is in the sun, the other is in the shade) The heat deflector, when not in use is stored in either the other grill, or set on top of the pole until I am done cooking - never left out to get wet. Grill Floss is stainless, and stays hanging on the grill cart. No guru or rotis here, so no need to find a home for them. But if I had the rotis, it would likely live in the garage.
mguerra Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 stainless cabinet My personal preference is to have everything out of sight. To that end, the guy that makes this product says he will customize it to your specs: http://vfifab.com/patiogrillmate.htm Email him for all the details.
DavidS Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Rubbermaid storage I use a small Rubbermaid storage unit. I hold charcoal,extra grills, misc and birdseed. Also use the Weber to hold the lower grill and as a table when cooking.
Ickkey Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 I was looking at getting something to store the accessories also and came up with this cart which looked nice, but might be on the small side. Sure would like to come up with something for storage. http://www.exterior-accents.com/bicawgrtopwo.html
Curly Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 I got these old whatcha-ma-callits at a Salvation Army type store for about $80. I was thinking about making something but I couldn't buy the wood and hardware for that price. They work great on my porch and look fine with the logs. But they wouldn't last long in the elements.
Tucker Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 RE: Storing accessories - teak cabinet? I solved this dilemma for myself in my workshop: This is the link to the "Outdoor Cabinets/Carts" post in the KOmodo General section. viewtopic.php?t=2223&start=30 Dennis had embarked on the path of building teak cabinets, just not sure where that stands. I can't put my finger on the link in the forum, sorry.
