I started this last fall and just finished some of the details on it.
I picked up an old gas bar-b-que grill at the dump. It was the type with the grill in the center and a shelf on one side and a side burner on the other side. I returned the center grill section to the dump and reworked the burner to sit in the center of the stand. I cut down the other side shelf to be the lower "bottle" shelf for the canner. I had to add some supports under the burner, but all in all it was a really simple job. I re-used the stainless control panel from the grill to hide some of the edges. I took the knobs out and cut it down to fit. That's the piece above the shelf in front of the burner. I used it this past season without the lower shelf and supports and it worked great. The paint was still wet when I took the pics, so some surfaces look blotchy.
Thanks to everybody here on the Trader for your ideas. I kind of collected and copied ideas from several examples shown here over the past few years.
