Casters on a traditional kettle?

Just curious if anyone has ever added casters to a traditional kettle. Was thinking maybe just the front stationary leg? Tried searching, but most of the results were about performer casters.

I used one of these when I “lifted” my Weber. I don’t remember which wheel material, but used the stainless steel locking version. It’s worked out pretty well so far.

I’m a sucker for some big wheels.

I went through a few sets from tractor supply and HD. I think I ended up on 8” non-pneumatic rubber tires (wheelbarrow or dolly tires?). I had to get 1/2” axle to mount them on and some stainless chain attachments (not sure what they’re actually called) from HD. I used them to attach the wire rack to the axle. Also needed axle collars (I think that’s what it was called) to keep the legs tight to the wire rack and keep the axle from sliding. Pics from today. Just noticed the wheels are dry rotting a bit. Guess I should have armoralled them!

I dont see castors here its basically a field & the wheels aren't big enough.
Shorten the 3rd leg as needed & add a bigger wheel then yes, I'm all over it.

I did something similar on my red LE. Makes it so much easier to move around especially at the beach. No front caster though.

Thanks! It’s by far one of the easiest kettles to move around.
