How/Where do you Store your Accessories?

As many here have predicted, within a very short time of buying my first BGE, I have accumulated a number of accessories.  They include: BGE platesetter, BGE Extended Grid, Woo, extra ceramic plate, cast iron grid and several drip pans.  Since it's an XLBGE, these accessories have a pretty big diameter and thickness.

How do you store your accessories?  I'll keep mine on a covered deck, and am thinking about some kind of cabinet.  @Wowens just started a thread and mentioned a cabinet w/ the accessories standing on edge instead of laying flat.  That seems like a real good idea to me, and might be pretty easy to build.  I don't need a hole for the egg, just storage.

Was wondering how everybody else does it, as I know a bunch of y'all have a bunch of parts.  Thanks.

    I have a Rubbermaid vertical storage cabinet for the accessories for my XL and M. It is 4' wide 2' deep and 6' tall. It has double doors. 2 bags charcoal and several smoke woods in the bottom and 2 sets of shelves above hold Woo2, AR parts and sundry. It works much better than the horizontal chest I used before. Not too elegant but suits it purpose well in a utilitarian way.

    I have an Extra Large Deck Box that holds a lot of stuff - wood chunks, charcoal tub, vacuum and other boxes of cast iron & cooking stuff. The deck box is available from Amazon here




    I also use these weather tight boxes as accessory storage on the tables - and I added sliding drawers for hot items to the tables



    My pallet of charcoal is in the shed. Along with extra nests and assorted parts...

    I think I saw this at Lowes the other day.  Looked at it and thought it would work.  Did you build the shelves yourself?

    I'm building a table for this purpose.  I like my XL in the nest, so table will just be for work surface and storage, will have a shallow shelf for horizontal storage and taller shelf with some vertical storage rack, also room for a tub or two.

    No organizational skills here deployed for outdoor cooking. I keep some in my newly remodeled kitchen, the garage and a storage bin. Most accessories are kept in the BGE.

    Exactly what I was thinking.  Would love to see a picture.

    On top of the fridge in the garage. Lump and wood chunks/chips go on a small pallet next to the fridge.

    Well, this going to be disappointing.



    My son sketched out a few ideas, but not a formal drawing.  We haven't sorted out the bottom shelf yet, probably 2x2s front to back for the slots to hold grids, etc.  Overall 30" deep, 60" long and will have a concrete top.  Holiday plans will prob delay us into January.

    Sorry, been busy for a couple of days. Yes I did rig up the open wire shelving myself.  Not too elegant but it hasn't collapsed as of yet. =)

    Gladiator cabinet from Sam's. rolling tool chest from Home Depot.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    I suspect it will be fine.  After all, Hiram was a builder.  ;)

    I have a blackstone griddel (4 burner and 1 burner for the office) and a LBGE.  I just aquired a broken mini fridge to use for dry storage of my salt or rubs or whatever.  I think it should work well out in the garage with that magnetic seal.  Hoping it will keep out bugs, too...
