Davey Crockett spring legs

Wasn't at all happy with the instability of the Davey Crockett spring legs so I came up with this as a solution. 4 - 1 1/4" pipe couplings. Much better now.

Do you have a concern that way ? Do you think that laying down a layer of aluminum foil would reflect enough heat to matter ? Maybe use something else ?

    Thanks.


    What they gave us at Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone was a piece of foil backed insulation ( like you get at HomeDepot for your house walls) about 2ftx2ft to put under our grill to prevent scorching their tables. It was a requirement per their rule sheet.

    The springs are about 1/4" shorter than the coupling. I just set the legs in the coupling on a picnic bench.
  • Nice Dave.

    Now I need your review of how this smoker/grill does.

    Looking forward to it.
