I think the KP is an excellent product, just the way it is. I just wanted to make mine unique, so I looked into having my new Kettle Pizza ceramic coated, but the price was a bit too steep.
I had seen this older Weber Rotisserie on letgo several weeks ago, but never managed to go see it. I lucked out and found the sellers number jotted down on a scrap piece at my shop. I contacted the seller again and made arrangements to have a look. It was priced right, so I thanked the seller and brought it home for this project.
Seeing all of the clever ideas here, is what gave me the motivation for this project. Worse case, if I screwed it up, I'd only lose a few bucks and would still have my original KP Ring.
The work begins... I settled on the positioning and got it ready to cut.
Taped and marked for the cutting.
Luckily, I decided to double check my cut line and made some necessary adjustments.
I used a Dremel tool, hack saw and finally a jigsaw, with metal cutting blade, to make the cut. The jigsaw made this go very quickly.
Next, I added supports for the Kettle Pizza components and did a test fit.
I finished the cutting, drilling and grinding then cleaned everything up.
Assembling the pizza cooker.
Ready to go!
This mod did not ruin the ability to use it as a rotisserie. It might burn a bit more fuel, but should still work just fine. Next step is to fire this thing up and cook some pizzas!
