I am wanting to put a folding front shelf on my DB, but I didn't bookmark the Amazon page that had them.  I just bookmarked the page from PH thinking I would be able to access that when I was ready to pull the trigger.  Do these look like the folding shelf brackets that some of y'all used on yours?

And please forgive me Bentley if we aren't supposed to post links.  I read something about that in the user agreement.

I am not sure if you are wanting a custom shelf?  You do know that GMG sells one?

GMG Front Shelf

I see folks even install them inside...

I'm not sure how sturdy that would be.  I liked the way someone on PH did one.  He used those brackets (I think those) and then mounted a stair landing on them after varnishing it.  It looked really nice and seemed very sturdy.  And I think the GMG shelf certainly would be better off mounted inside.  I might spring for the GMG shelf, then tell the wife I don't like it and go with my original plan.  Except I'm much like you, Bentley, and don't care to part company with my finances.  Decisions! Decisions!

Found a piece of Corian so I can cut on it and not have to worry about bacteria as clean up is easy. 16" deep x 24" wide using the same brackets as above.
Work awesome!!

More great information.

That looks great and an even better idea with the Corian!  And now I know those are the brackets I need to get.  Where does a fella go to find some Corian?

That looks great!  I need to make something like that so I don't need to schlep a table to the cooker 

I bought the "Traeger Lil' Tex Elite Folding Front Shelf".  Even though its designed for a Traeger it fits my GMG DB perfectly.

Thanks for posting LSFS - that should fit my Traeger perfectly

Have a nephew that works for a kitchen cabinet company, they had a piece left over.   

I'm not sure how sturdy that would be.

Just FYI on the front shelf, I have the GMG front shelf for my JB and it's plenty sturdy.

That's good to know.  And probably the easiest way to go, too.  Just bolt it on and go.  Might get two and put one inside.  Thanks Sleebus!!

Even if the GMG shelf is sturdy it sits way lower than I'd like and I want a solid surface, not the grates.

I happened across a GM dealer in a small town today while there working on a case.  Went in and they had the DB front shelf for $35, so I got since it was cheaper and no shipping from GMG.  I'll get it on there this evening and let y'all know.  Thanks y'all!!

I installed the GMG shelf and it seems sturdy enough.  I'll give it a few weeks and then it will probably live inside the grill and be the second shelf.  I do like LSFS's idea and might go that route.  I've got to wait awhile for the wife to forget about it.  That's my diabolical plan so I can get both.
