As my grilling and BBQ habit grew, it became obvious I needed something serious for storage as well as a serving table. Thus was born The BBQ Butler, a 44” wide, 34” tall, 24” deep storage and prep space on casters that I built. It sits in a corner of our deck by the Weber grill and Treager Pro 22 and keeps my wife from ragging’ at me about my hobby. The prep/serving top is an el cheapo laminate countertop from a big box store. The main box is 3/4” ply. Some 2x2 or 2x4 interior framing. There is a full width drawer, 6” deep, that holds big stuff like the rotisserie set, cleaning toolbox, welders gloves and all the other doodads and gizmos we collect.
Underneath are two centre-open doors.The large storage area has an upper shelf for trays, skillets and welder’s blanket (the frugal guy’s winter grill blanket). Lower area is packed with bags of wood chips, smoke tubes and other weird odds & sods.
I keep my pellets in the garage.in 5 gal pails bought from the local hardware store. Heck of a lot cheaper than those “Pellet storage bins” sold at the local BBQ shop.
