ya, that is kinda the thought i had, a safety from teetering up. also, i do plan to build a rack/shelf on the bottom. also as for a counter weight, i was thinking of taking some 3x3 that i used for the legs, fill it up with either rebar or sand and add to the opposite end from firebox on bottom by rack...just an idea.Gizmo_Rick wrote:I might have an idea to help with the balance problem.
Does it want to drop on the FB end when you try to roll it?
If so then buy a plug-in socket type of swivel caster and weld the socket to the bottom of the FB about 2 inches from the door in the center. Then plug in the swivel caster part only when you are going to move it - sort of a "safety wheel". Those legs need a basic shelf across them about half way to the ground for gloves, tongs, etc. - the plug-in wheel can just live there so it's handy when you need it…. or not
