CGS Chariot - Ceramic Grill Mover

Very useful product

I recently purchased the CGS Chariot for my XL Big Green Egg. I purchased some 2 x 4's to complete the build and (mostly) used the directions from the YouTube link. The kit arrives with two wood pieces cut to conform to the diameter of your kamado grill (XL BGE, in my case), along with long threaded rods, nuts and washers. It also came with all the screws, drills and a bit driver for the build. I'm happy with the product, but knocked off one star for the quality and choice of screws and the spade drill bit. The screws and driver bit are Phillips #2. Driving long (3-inch, if I recall correctly) screws through wood with a Phillips head bit can be problematic, especially with a screw gun, which has an impact motion. And, yes, i drilled pilot holes through the 2 x 4 first. I managed to shear one of the screws and had to replace it with a torx drive screw I had from a decking project. Torx drive or even #2 square drive would have been better choices for the screws. The second minor complaint was with the 3/4" spade bit. True, you only need to drill four holes with it, but by the fourth hole, the bit had lost temper due to heat and it bent. I was able to (mostly) straighten it and finish the job, but others may not be so lucky. Overall a good product and a simple, useful solution to safely moving my ceramic grill.

Great

There is no way I could have moved my Kamado Big Joe without this chariot. It's a simple design but invaluable. Thanks!
