All About Built-in Barbecue Pits

Step 1: Build three shelves

Cut all the pieces to length, then assemble three rectangular frames using 2x4s and 2½ inch deck screws. Use pocket-hole screws to attach 1x4 cedar across two of the three frames to form shelves. Attach blocking under one shelf’s corners for casters to be screwed into.

Step 2: Attach the legs and casters

Cut, clean, and paint the angle irons, then drill holes where the top frame and lower shelves will go. Attach them with 2½-inch deck screws. Add 3-inch locking casters to the bottom corners.

Step 3: Add the Handle and Top

Use a jigsaw to cut out four rounded supports for the dowel. Make holes in two of them for the dowel ends using a 1 1⁄4 inch spade bit; cover with the other two. Attach handle to cart with pocket-hole screws. Attach a butcher-block top finished with food-safe oil; finish the rest of the wood with tung oil. Add hooks and accessories.
