Stampede Front shelf thoughts

[Bbqallday80]

So I got my 590 a few days before Christmas and they didn’t have any of the front shelves in stock. Now that they do, what are your opinions on if it’s worth the extra 100 bucks. Thanks everyone

There have been some recent threads on building your own shelf that were very well done. And, the cost was the same or less than the OEM version.

Depending on your use of the stock shelf, it may or may not be very useful. It's very shallow and when you consider the horns are in the way, there's very little usable space. Take a look at all the great shelves people on here made for a fraction the cost of the tiny stock one

I have the Bull and built one from a stainless kitchen wall shelf with the folding brackets. It was less back then about a year ago so tough call now if I would do the same.

What I like about it is the lip on the grill side will stop anything from contacting the grill for the most part.

But yes, I use it every time I use the grill. Very handy... I think I would get frustrated if I did not have one.

Here is what it looks like

Thanks.. that is a 200 on her and is a tri-toon. Got her 2014 so getting up there in age already but she sits on a lift during the season and is babied.

Here is a pic of her first coming home back then. I don't even look at boats any more. Love it. Maybe I should swap the gasser on the back with a 340 lol.

yeah most of my riding is in the dark going hunting or starting early fishing. when fishing i like to have my bait caught before sunrise. that was the heaviest deer i ever killed. 212lbs is a giant body in sc

What kind of bait did you use?

yeah lucky i killed him on the lake side of the mtn so i was able to slide him down to the boat. if he would have been away from the lake i would have had to process him in the woods and carry out the meat. i have to do that a good bit also

 

[chadinsc]

What kind of bait did you use?

i mostly fish for blue catfish and use bream and even small catfish for bait.

sorry for the side tracking. $100 seems kinda expensive for the shelf in my opinion l. but i have one for my 700 and the quality is good and its strong and easy to install. my buddy has one on his 590 also and loves it. a shelf is extremely useful.

That looks awesome

The stock shelf is alright, wish it was deeper though. Sheet pan barely fits.

 

[chadinsc]

i wish it was grate height. another option is a rolling cart or table? i recently got a tool box from home depot to store accessories but its a great shelf also. and is same height as the grates. its a cheap tool box $129 plus 20 for wood top so close to the price of a shelf. it looks shorter in the picture i was wrapping ribs in but you can see the height next to grill in other picture.

I'm on the same time line as you, but I haven't seen that the shelf for the 590 is back in stock. I've signed up as an Insider til I'm blue in the face. Did you call in to order? I just looked and it's "sold out" on the web page. Thx.

I looked last week and saw it in stock but now saying out of stock. Hoping I can get directions and everything needed to make one. Being disabled my wife does all the handy work.
