Thanks again.....amazed at the feedback. I forgot to mention another benefit....the 26" cover fits beautifully over the entire unit.
Also, as you can see, I removed the supports that hold the ash pan for the Ranch kettle. However, after cutting and reassembling the frame, I was surprised to find that the ash pan supports were in the correct position to hold an old style aluminum ash pan for a 26 very similar to the actual Ranch kettle. Therefore if you prefer the ash pan versus the enclosed ash ring/bucket, you could leave/use the supports.
Others have PMed....part number for the top frame is 85740 and the bottom frame is 85750. I ordered the steel rod for the wheel axle but see you can buy something similar at Home Depot.
