Just make sure you use something without chrome. chrome, when heated, releases poisonous fumes
What keeps the coals from falling out onto your lovely wood base?
agreed… might consider using some dense sort of hardware cloth to keep the coals “In” the rim.
Anyone tried using a stripped steel spare or “doughnut” ,as there are not to many holes in it for anything to fall out of? I am trying that soon with a 15″one *as that is what our old car had* and a 13 1/2″ grill from the hardware store to go with it.
What size rim did you use … and how do you prevent the hot embers from dropping through the rim and burning the base?
Thanks ~The Wizard
What size r is that? Really want to build one but as I don’t have any wheels laying around I need to find one at the junkyard.
This is a great looking grill! I’ll have to make one now. Thanks for the great tip.
Line the bottom with aluminum foil to stop the coals in.
