I’ve done the same thing with a old grill that I have replaced. One that the grill grate has rusted out past using or legs have bent or broke, but the “ tub “ is still good for some thing.
Great idea. If you have an older small kettle grill that was popular in tailgating days you can now use it for that. Even the body of one of those old aluminum grills will do as long as you can fit the DO inside.
I have a Weber Jumbo Joe tabletop kettle grill that always travels with us to keep the DO protected from temp changes and chills. It's 18" so it handles even my largest DO. The kettle vents let me adjust oxygen levels too.
