My new grill cabinet

I decided early that I did not want my LBGE built into a table, first because of the fire hazard, second, I like being able to move my egg around depending on the wind direction and third, I've bought so much stuff from Tom at CGS that I needed something with more storage. Here is what I built. Cedar on the outside, treated on the inside.Granite top. I built it so the top was a little higher than the felt line of my egg, easier to move stuff back and forth.

Man, I like that! I don't care to have mine in the table either. Good job!------------------------------

Wow, that would be perfect on my deck. Love the shelves for the grates. You should start your own BGE cabinet business>

No thanks to the business, I build for fun, family and friends. My wife complains how much time I spend in the shop now, little does she know how little work I actually get done.

Perhaps I'm just overlooking it, but I don't see any beer bottle openers.
:-O

Now that is a pretty slick Eggside cabinet! Makes a ton of sense and I can see it holds a lot of Egg Toys. Very nice job.

Never needed a bottle opener for Knob Creek or Bookers.

Great idea is it on wheels so it can be moved?Clearwater FlLGE

No, the cabinet and grills are on my 8' X 10' "GRILL DECK", built just for a grilling and attached to the house right next to the kitchen/great room/main deck with no access to the ground. The pictures were taken looking through the door to this deck. There's a 42" X 42" bump-out that the egg gets pushed back into when not in use.

Looks very nice!!!XL BGE, LG BGE, and a hunger to grill everything in sight!!!Joe- Strongsville, OH

I'm thinking about doing something similar in about 3-4 weeks but I'm a bit uncertain how to move forward. Is your cabinet waterproof/resistent? If so, how did you handle doing this? Caulk along all edges & cracks?Also, did you build the doors yourself or did you buy pre-made ones and just attach? Thanks!

I still have room for my sbge when I find it.

The exterior is cedar with 3 coats of Olympic Maxim deck and fence stain/sealer. I made the doors and drawers and they fit extremely tight. The top overhangs the cabinet 3" on all sides. All the shelves/drawers are tilted back at 3 degrees, keeping them shut tight and any water that might get in runs to the back and out the bottom. Next project is to cover that deck.
-
For the exterior, did you use multiple boards glued together and put under a clamp for one larger board or did you just build the cabinet with the boards as close together as possible and then stain/seal it later on?
-
-
I made solid panels, all glued/splined together. Face frame is pocket hole screwed to the carcass.
-
No wonder you needed a cabinet. Holy grates batman. Could only imagine where all that stuff was before the cabinetLBGE& SBGE———————————————•———————– Pennsylvania / poconos

It's CGS's northern showroom

Nice! Exactly what we need. Did you have plans? Is the face frame 1x or 2x?

A man after my own heart!! Who needs beer when you got really nice bourbon? I love the shelves. I've been wondering how better to organize the inside of my outdoor cabinet...now I know. Thanks a ton for posting and for the PDF.prodraft1954 said:Never needed a bottle opener for Knob Creek or Bookers.

I miss Jacob's Well, Baker's is also a nice change.

Not to hijack the post, but 1792 is my "house brand". Great bourbon for the $26 price.

Now you're just trying to make me jealous. Do you ever venture outside the brand? Four Roses perhaps?Fish, Hunt, Cook....anything else?
