My first venture into cooking with charcoal was 5 years ago with an ECB (El Cheapo Brinkmann) vertical smoker.
I have probably used it maybe only 3 times in the last three years. Will probably donate it.
The cooking grates from the ECB measure about 15" or so in diameter.
Because the lid on an 18" Weber kettle is shaped differently from a 22", I got to thinking ...
I need to make a 2nd level ... Why not?!?!! Welded on some legs .... 3 to be exact.
This is close to 3" above the original cooking grate level. Already used it twice since fabricating this last week.
