I made a folding stand to keep my Weber Go Anywhere BBQ off the ground. I used old camping table legs and some stainless steel, on ply, for the top. I had the steel cut to size. I've had it for a good number of years now. I was thinking of respraying the metal legs with Rustoleum spray paint or something similar. Rather than refurbing my DIY effort I would prefer something a little lighter and more aesthetically pleasing but haven't been able to find anything suitable. Was just wondering what other users have done to ensure their BBQ's are at an height where the grass isn't scorched.

When I used my Weber Go Anywhere (GA) BBQ, I would put it on bricks, for the ground underneath to be soaked with water first, then placed a thick piece of wood on top of the grass.

I had used the GA on a aluminum slat top table in the past, again, with a thick piece of wood underneath.

The GA has now been replaced by a Cobb Premier Air as it is too large and cumbersome for me nowadays, and the Cobb can be placed on a small camping stool table without any additional protection.

Thanks, this has prompted me to think of an aluminium table with maybe a 15mm piece of MDF or Ply plus a heat protection mat on top of the wood. It would look better.

Previously we adapted a single step as a base for a small BBQ. We ripped off the rubber matting leaving a nice flat surface and placed the BBQ straight on it.
Step was picked up at a car boot sale for the princely sum of £1.
