Worth, there's a possible feature to include -- height adjustment so that both tall and short cooks can use it.
I was thinking of you and my wife and other people about the height being too tall.
I'm not much taller and anything over 36 would be too much for me too.
And have thought about adjustable legs.
But the weight of the grill is going to be tremendous and not conducive to conventional legs like the ones you see and have them be adjustable.
At least in any way that would be easy on the go.
I could figure out the weight of the finished grill before it was ever built.

One thing to consider on a grill is you dont want the flames right in your face either.

The optimum height of a stove top or grill would be where your forearm is at a 90 degree angle or parallel to the floor or a little lower.
In my opinion I think 36 inches is a compromise at best.

So adjustable height with at least 12 inches of adjustment starting at 30 inches and stopping at 42.
This should cover everyone.
Next is that contraption over the grill to raise the grill up and down.

I think the grill needs a cover also and a way to have a rotisserie.

Okay what about surface area of the grill?
