Has anyone converted a regular kettle over to gas?

[Duke]

I gave the gas conversion a run tonight in the kettle to test the heat output
I set it up in a Mastertouch and after 5 mins on high the lid thermometer had maxed out
There were no grates or food in the kettle I just wanted to see how hot it could get
Should be able to do a great pizza with this conversion

Sounds good enough for me. I think it would be a nice option to have.

Duke, stole this from the charbroil cast iron thread. Look at the King Cooker 6" replacement. They also have a regulator kit with adjustment. It would just need an extension to get the heat away from the hose. Some type of diffuser might be needed.(CI or fire bricks) Just some options.

Thanks GL, I think that's what they use to convert the webers into pizza ovens, but there is some cutting involved. They are a good price though. I am thiing these could also be useful for winter grilling when it's in the 30's. I think Hogsy's is the ticket, too bad they only sold those in Oz.

OZ version would be the choice and I'mm sure Hogsey or Golley would pay the freight.
I don't think cutting would be involved, just purchase the burner piece. 2ea. 90degree fittings and a tube to drop
down the one of the lower vents. Make sense?

I just wonder how good it will work on a three wheeler?

Duke, see if the our boys down under can work the deal.
Just have them send the gas conversion...

Have u looked at the stok kettle gas grills? Seems like it would be a easy retrofit into a kettle.

They've started popping up on my craigslist check yours.

Here's one

Hogsy picked one up for me and is sending it over. Much appreciated by the way. They are priced reasonably enough, but it's the international freight charges that get you. I think that gumtree compact kettle with the gas conversion is a great deal. I would be all over that for the $25 asking. Check out the redhead for $30.
