CI14 / WELD-IT-YOURSELF KIT

Texas Cast Iron Rack, 14 in

A home for the cast iron that's as heavy-duty as the pans. Four tiers of 10 ga steel rails on edge don't sag under a 12 in skillet. A lip on each tier keeps pans from sliding off the front, and the tall bottom bay takes a Dutch oven with its lid on. Every part is laser cut and locates itself with tabs and slots, and the Texas outline is cut through both sides. Cut in Greenville, Texas.

Coming soonEvery kit is prototyped and test-built before it goes on sale.

What you’ll need

  • MIG or flux-core welder (a 120 V machine handles 10 ga)
  • Angle grinder with a flap disc
  • Framing square, tape measure and a rubber mallet
  • Welding helmet, gloves, jacket and safety glasses
  • A helper for step 3 (optional)

Finishing

  • The parts ship bare with a light oil film. Wipe them down with a degreaser before welding.
  • Grind the welds flush and sand or wire-wheel the surfaces.
  • Paint it with satin black enamel or clear-coat the bare steel. Let it cure fully before you load pans.
  • Put felt or rubber pads under the feet on a stone or wood counter.

Safety

  • It holds about 60 lb of cast iron. Load the heaviest piece, the Dutch oven, in the bottom bay.
  • Set it on a flat, solid counter or shelf. Let pans cool before you rack them.
  • Lift pans straight out and in over the front lip; don't drag them across the rails.
  • It isn't a step or a ladder.
