I need to build a stand to hold my new portable grill when I want to use it on my deck. The base of the stand will be metal, mostly salvaged from my old grill. The top will be slats of wood, 3/4 thick x 3" wide x 18" long. I think I need about 8 slats.
I think wood will be an ok material under this grill, the legs are made of plastic so it doesn't get very hot under the grill. It's a gas grill so sparks will be minimal.
For $50 I can get the stand designed for use with my grill, I'm looking to do this for way cheaper than that (under $10).
What would be a good, inexpensive, wood to use that will not rot out after a few years outside? I was considering red oak because I happen to have some handy, but I think it will turn black outside.
