BBa Serving CartNothing sa,ysummer like abackyard barbecue. Euen nou),if I shut my eyes, I can catchthe faint smell of briquettesand hickory chips, hear thecrackle of ice in a tall glass offreshly made lemonade, and tastethe butter dipped Iowa corn.My family always made a bigdeal out of backyard barbecues.And IVe managed to carrY on the32 Workbench tJwe 1997tradition. My grill is more thanadequate for the cooking I do, butone of my frustrations has beenthe lack of an outdoor workcenter.I've never had a suitable surfacefor food preparation, or evena good place to set the foodbefore it goes on the grill. Earlierthis spring, however, I decided tofiIl this gap by buildins a BBQserving cart.The cart I made is much morethan an on-deck circle for foodabout to go on the grill. It alsoserves as a storage cabinet for charcoal,wood chips, lighter fluid, cookingtools, and otherbarbecuing suPplies. Since ifs on wheels, the cartcan be rolled from the grill to thepicnic table with ease, and into thegarage during lousy weather.I don'twantyou to think this cartisn't made for the outdoors, though.The construction allows for the naturalexpansion and contraction ofthe wood, and the use of waterresistantpo$urethane glue ensuresthe durability of the carfs joinery.
