Bought a new bbq grill. A Cuisinart. Kinda neat. Can be used as a table top grill, or extend the legs to use as a stand alone grill.
The problem, its to tall to go into the storage compartment that I want it go into. I thought I wouls drill the pin out of the pivot of the hinge and put a pin back with a cotter key through it so it would not fall out. I looked at the hinge and to see what i needed to do, and the pin is already made to pull out. The pin has a hairpin type cotter pin through it. Kinda of small. Drop in once in the grass and its a goner. So I put a short piece of sash chain on it. The cotter pin will not come off the chain. So now I have to lose both the chain and pin together.
Now I can take the cover off and turn it upside down and nest it into the bottom and place the grill in the lid and it will store in the compartment I want it in. Wish all projects would go this easy
