Egg Wagon Mission Accomplished + Shopping!!!

Cdm624

Finished up welding and grinding the "EGG WAGON" this evening and slapped a coat of gloss black paint on her...


Also did a little Pre-Egg shopping to stock up on some "Egg-ccessories" prior to picking up the egg next friday. Made a trip to the Ceramic Grill Store in Denton, TX and picked up a few "Egg-ssentials". Also picked up quite a bit of info on the AR vs. the Woo. Will be headed back to pick up one or the other next weekend....still undecided.

@Cdm624 nice job there!!  I'd like to do something similar,where did you get the chasi?  Like axels and handle and wheels?

I figured it out. 

Your cart's sign should say:

"PULL, DON'T PUSH!"

in honor of the fallen Eggs that have toppled accidentally so that we could learn from our mistakes and come up with genius ideas like this.

Got the wagon base (bottom deck and everything below) at tractor supply. Had everything cut at metal supermarkets. 

Wagon was $150 and metal was $103. All in all I've got about $300 into it.

I was thinking of finding somewhere to make me a custom license plate that says "EGGWAGON" on it.

Man that looks solid- nice job! Please share more pics once you get the egg loaded and let us know how it works.

That is COOL! Years ago I bought these large metal cart wheels with a plan to design, build and sell a BGE cart when I retired. I even went so far as to check into the product liability with my attorney. Let's just say sometimes hearing things like "BEING SUED for everything you own" becomes a rude awakening. To this very day I still have those cool wheels and axles, so maybe I'll SOMEDAY just make a "peddler's flower cart" like the plans suggested and give it to somebody and not give them my name so they can't sue me!

Got the egg all nestled in and ready for a fire...

Very cool! How easy is it to move it around?

Very smooth. It goes over the small "ledge" at the end of my garage rather smoothly. I'm moving to the back yard this afternoon and we'll see how it does on grass...It's just too dang hot outside right now.

Nice! Are the hangers magnetic?

Looks cool, but you might want to provide either some "bumpers" on the metal crossbars so when you are moving your cart your egg doesn't rub against them. Rubbing will surely chip the glaze on your base causing problems which will not be covered by warranty. One other thought if you don't want to go the bumper route would be to bolt the nest to that bottom shelf so that it all stays rigid.

Yes...Found them by the check out line at harbor freight for like $2

The nest is bolted to the bottom of the wagon so there only slight movement of the egg when in transport on big bumps. The handle side is really the only side I think I need protection in, there an inch or so clearance on the others. 

Thanks for the heads up though.

Action shot...I'll make the stereotypical "first cook" post later on!

This is my egg wagon! Although I've only used it once it really worked like a charm

it bolts onto my 4x8 trailer

Good! Call me a worrywart but I saw that and thought "oh crap...I wonder if he thought about..." and you already did! Cool! Thanks for your reply!

Nice! Can you pull that while chasing ambulances or is your law practice speciality something else?

No chasing ambulances for me. I practice family law.

the joke in school is that all the kids who make C's end up making all the money because they practice personal injury.

Great wagon!
