Looking for upgrade ideas to make my BBQ area more functional (photos included)

Hey everyone, I’ve got a basic BBQ setup on my patio that gets the job done, but I’m realizing it could use some upgrades to be more usable and organized. I’d love to get some ideas or see what others have done with similar setups. Here are a few problems I’m hoping to solve: • I don’t have much space to put anything while cooking, BBQ tools, sauces, plates, beer, finished food, etc. I end up juggling things or just throwing them wherever. • No real storage I just leave the BBQ tools inside the grill after it cools, which isn’t ideal. • The BBQ itself feels a bit wobbly, even though it’s on level ground and everything is tightened up. Makes using the side shelves for prep work kind of sketchy. I’m not exactly sure what I want yet, so I’m open to any suggestions whether it’s DIY ideas, add-ons, builds, or general layout tips. Photos of what you’ve done would be awesome too. Some food pics too since I couldn’t help not to. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/SpareRaspberry509 [link] [comments]
