I wanted to share some of the modifications I did to my 700 over the holiday's.
I know that the front shelf is nothing new. It was a lot cheaper than purchasing the stainless one from Recteq. Someone done one with a stair tread and I liked the looks with the rounded front. So that's what I did. Didn't stain it, just some light sanding and applied mineral oil. The 700 stays on the patio and the patio is covered so not worried about rain. I got the folding shelf brackets off Amazon and the stair tread from Lowe's. Less than $30 total.
I haven't decided what I am doing with the bull ring yet. Seen a shelf with it installed on the front and kinda liked it. I may install it on the side shelf and used it as a towel holder. No hurry so I may come up with something or see something else I like.
I have a long shelf and two small shelves. No real good place to store them except on the shelf under the grill. I didn't really like them there. Then I got the sear kit for Christmas and now I really didn't have a good place to store everything. So I decided to make a "shelf" to store the small shelves and the grill grates.
The longer shelf is now stored on the hopper. I used the Blackstone magnetic tool holders. No need to drill holes and they hold the shelf very well.
It doesn't move so I am not worried about anything falling off or moving around.
I know you are wondering why I have the horns the way I do. My wife is 5'2" and when opening the lid, her arm touched the lid with the horns the normal way. I turned them out so she can stand to the side and not worry about touching the lid. I told her now we don't have an RT-700....we have a 007-TR
