special thanks to @zavod44  for the special handles  //my dad cut a blk walnut tree down in 1977 and had the tree saw into boards  /// dad has been gone for 8 yrs now RIP DAD //. making theses handles out of dads wood is kinda like him being there with me while I cook

Almost begging for a SECOND burner tube ... for when 2 chimneys of fuel is desired. But it's pretty damn badass as it is! Very nice.

Ida connected them going the other way so id have a huge work area between two kettles.

You did good though, I give you a hell ya and a beer.

Very sweet! Also, that is a cool little tribute you were able to do with the handles and no doubt every time you lift the lid you'll remember your old man. Congrats and enjoy!

Oh, and I vote for pacman. ;)

Totally bad ass. Can't say enough how awesome that is.

Very nice! Looks like a train. It's a shame that Weber refuses to produce a product that the consumer wants so badly that we have to make it ourselves. Good job! Forward your pics to Weber, maybe it will motivate them to do something  ...finally?

Ok, now on to a Ranch Kettle Performer...

I was happy to help out with the handles.  The wood was beautiful and the story behind them was awesome.  Glad I could bring a little history back and add to such an incredible grill......

Yup, a train was my first thought when I saw the picture. The Old 26, like the Old 97. The Old 97's are a pretty kick-ass band from Texas also. Alternate name could be The Texas Onion Special!
