Making a custom bottom Shelf for Traeger Pro 780

Okay so I had a few old cedar fence boards laying around the shop and just quickly threw this thing together. Luckily I’ve been blessed to have a decent woodworking section in my shop. I’m hoping to spend more time than I do in it. I was a cabinet maker before I was a Homebuilder and I’ve always had a love for woodworking.

A 1/4 shorter works well as you can see but any longer it won’t fit. The only aggravating part is you have to remove the two lower screws on one side of the brace. The shelf won’t just slip in because of the legs tapering. Just remove the screws, tilt brace enough to get shelf in and put screws back. But it’s quite simple other than crawling around lol. I’ll probably take it back out sometime and paint it black. It’s really simple to build. It only took 15 minutes to build it including thinking of how to.I even ran it through my planer. Definitely an easy side money hustle for someone that’s into repetitive simple things or someone with a saw and a few tools.
So did you end up with 14.75” wide?
 
Midwest Smoker, Do you remember the measurements for the shelf you built for your 575? Was it 27 1/8 in by 15in??
The internal length is the same as yours for obvious reasons, but mine is almost 20 inches wide with the legs notched out. There are two support pieces below which holds it all together.
