I bought a Barbeque's Galore Texas Chef charcoal grill about a year and
a half ago, which at the time only came on a pedestal stand. Since
then I've been in constant need of a "side-cart" that I could use as
not only a work table, but also as a storage area for my tools, chimney
starter, and various wood chunks.

So far the only carts I've been able to find are meant to double as
plant carts with open shelves at the bottom. Instead I'm looking for
something that with an enclosed bottom that I can use to protect my
supplies from the usual summer thunderstorms.

Can anyone recommend a good source for such a beast?

Thanks in advance,
Plato

I have the Suncast barbecue cart and I love it. It's not huge, but has a
work table with a raised shelf for condiments and such. The bottom
storage shelves are enclosed by doors. It also has side hooks for tools.
It normally goes for around $80, but I just found it at Amazon for $40.

Correction...it seems to list for around $120 and Amazon is selling it
for $80.

Thanks for the response. I bought that one last year, one of the
wheels keeps falling off, the top is impossible to clean (rough
surface), and a good stiff wind sends it flying across my deck. I'm
looking for something a bit nicer and more stable (teak perhaps?).

I've found a Corning-type glass cutting board solves the surface
problem. And, once it's filled with the usual accessories (charcoal,
utensils, etc), it would take a pretty stiff wind to move it.

I've never seen an outdoor cart of that kind of quality sold in the
usual places. You may have to consider honing your own carpentry skills,
if that's what you're looking for.

Luck.

Best source is the lumber yard. Know anyone that does woodworking? Sketch
up what you want and ask about having it built. If you want to a cabinet
shop it would be a bit pricey, but I'd do something like that for a friend
for the cost of materials. I'd make it out of white oak, cypress, or
redwood.

Plato-

Try this plan from my earlier post... metal and tile doesn't burn but,
a wood cart might.
