During a conversation with the Wife about the 26" Kettle and where you could get a Ranch from and whether you could order a Ranch and what they cost, looked it up and the Wife said "order it" yes ma'am!
A few observations, one is while building it do not tighten any of the frame bolts and nuts, it will help with lining up the mounting holes in the bowl and the frame! Second the charcoal grate just sits in the bowl as there is no grate straps or rests to keep it from sliding around, the food grate sits in a ridge at the top of the bowl.
It showed up around the first part of June, between weather, work schedule and life in general it finally was finished today.
The box! HEAVY!
The reveal!
Done!
One happy camper!
Just for comparison i am 6'3" and 230#
