Build Your Own Texas Grill
If you are a traditional barbecue
connoisseur like me, then this is your grill.
Don’t you love that smooth smoky flavor
charcoal lends to all your grilled foods? To
make sure you have a grill that can handle
the heavy season of barbecue parties and
get-togethers you’re planning, let’s talk a
little bit about pulling this project together.
This is a do-it-yourself welding project that
won’t cost a fortune to build. And, with theright equipment this project requires only
one person with little to no welding
experience. A great start for the metal working hobbyist. If you’ve never welded before,
just practice for an hour or so on scrap metal.
To get started, I walked down to my workshop, eyed my trusty Lincoln Electric AC-225 stick welder, saw my tool box and smiled
as the light bulb flashed above my head. A large Texas grill, just like the one’s you see on TV was what I needed for a season of
fun filled barbecues. It wouldn’t require much – just an empty liquid barrel (be sure it has not contained any flammable or harmful
chemicals), some pieces of angle iron, a grill of some sort, and maybe a couple of added touches!
You can see from the list of materials, tools you’ll need and the all important safety equipment below – the trouble of where and
how to get started on this great project has been done for you. So what do you say – let’s get started!
