buccaneer
somebody shut me the fark up.
Thanks. I have a BSK. I haven't thought of taking it off it's base. Even with it lower - assuming I had a low table, if the Keg was immediately on my right, at three o'clock, I'm not sure I could lift the lid all the way, as I cannot lean forward on my own. My back will bend when I'm in bed and move with the bed (it is a motorized hospital bed). Once I'm in the chair, I can pull myself forward if I can grab something right in front of me, but otherwise, I can't. Does that make sense?
Anyway, thanks for the idea. I may have my son take the keg off the stand and sit it directly on the concrete and try it.
Don't just sit it on the concrete, you need to stabilize it so when you open the lid and close it, you won't tip it over.
The same tool that you use to lift out the grate is handy for catching the handle of the open lid to pull it closed, tapping the lower vent open/closed.
Lifting it to open, you only need to get it open to the point where you let go the handle and it opens up on it's own, but that means it needs to be stable.
Use the tool to hook it and close.
