After seeing what dedicated cabinets to fit a kamado grill cost, last year or so I instead decided to flank the grill with a rolling mechanic's cabinet for far less. So far, it worked out very well although one could use even more storage space. But it came with a tongue-and-groove wooden top that started deteriorating almost immediately and by this spring began to come apart. So, I looked on Google Maps and a nearby town with several industrial parks showed 16 different places that sold countertops. I went and found one that did work on-site instead of sending away for counters, and had a large inventory of scraps. They sold me one and cut it to size, and finished the edges, very affordably; and we got it home (heavy!) and secured it with construction adhesive. Due to the number and location of bolts, it took a Sawzall to get the old one off. And, being granite, it needs regular cleaner/sealer treatments. But I like the results!

Definitely an upgrade from the cutting board top. I have a similar rolling island & we just put a couple of coats of polyurethane on the wood & it has been fine for a few years. But if this one ever falls apart, I will check out the mechanics cabinets, looks pretty cool.
