@MikeRocksTheRed, my opinion is to use all Weber genuine parts. I also love what Hell Fire did with his WebrLyter Webrlytrhttp://weberkettleclub.com/forums/index.php?topic=27118Sent from my iPhone using Weber Kettle Club mobile app

Actually, quite easy to drop the lid into the bale but hard to bring it back up and on the bowl with just a front mount handle. So I am not sure how useful that would be. Here is 1ROW's 26er with a hinge and a front handle. On page 4. http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/show-us-your-26er!/45/

I am not opposed to any mods done to a kettle.However, the mods that I have done to a kettle are simple and straight-forward …. Adding a ring and bucket to the ash collection area.http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/one-touch-vent-size/msg69561/#msg69561I personally prefer to make "items" that will enhance and complement the cooking experience on a kettle …. i.e. charcoal baskets, and side tables.http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/been-doing-some-fabricating-(pic-heavy)/http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/fabricated-a-handy-side-table/http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/grilling-bbqing/a-couple-trials-using-homemade-charcoal-baskets/http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/my-3-wood-performer/http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/made-another-side-table/I can say this in conclusion … I gleaned 99.9% of the information and inspiration from the great members here on the WKC. Thank you for that!
Here's some pics of the aforementioned front handle on the 26er for you @kettlecook. Definitely a worthwhile mod be it in use with the lidbail or the unknown hinge.
@ MacEggs - All worthwhile mods and ideas. Nice to see them all together as I have missed few of them. #4. Reshaping the stock taco handle.I had this idea for awhile and decided to try it out. I am happy with how it turned out.BeforeAfter
