Been a long day of welding and grinding but she's almost ready. All thats left is to weld in the expanded metal shelves, finish grinding the nest, and paint her black.

So far i've got about $300 invested and i'm sure it would be a $1000+ wagon to buy retail....

    That looks great! I gotta ask, where do you take your egg?

    Live in an apartment and state law requires it be 10ft from building when lit. So I have to roll it off the patio and into the grass. Plus we wanted to be able to roll it to the pool in our complex if we ever desire.

    What kind of sign?

    Was thinking of adding a flag pole so I could fly the TX flag when I'm cooking

    I like it - good design.  Glad you're posting updates.  

    Is that a garage at your apartment, or is an offsite shop?  I find everything takes at least twice as long when you don't have an organized shop at your disposal.

    It's garage at our apartment. My wife's car is temporarily displaced. I'm lucky it's not raining our I'd be sleeping out there with the wagon....

    @SoCalTim   that's a cool looking cart - very similar to the op's.  I've never been to an eggfest - I'm a little surprised to see that a KJ was in attendance.

    The guy with the wagon was a vendor, he pulled it out of his trailer and switched to an egg before he set up.

    Man, that is a really cool looking cart.  Never saw a BGE that color before.  :)
    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    Nice build.... Question, did you start with a utility/garden cart and go from there?  (I'm looking for just the handle but have not been able to source it).

    Thanks

    Started with the wagon base I bought at tractor supply. So basically from the bottom deck down was pre built.
